Hotel comparison site at emanila opens

Team Emanila — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:42:34 +0000

We have recently started our own hotel comparison site. The site is called www.emanilahotels.com where you can check hotel availability and rates. There’s no need to register to use the service.

The service may come handy especially to emanila members and users or their family members planning to travel, or spend a short out of town weekend.

We have used the service ourselves and we find the site a truly amazing time saver. Now, you don’t have to surf several major accommodation websites to find out which hotel offers the best deal. The service will do that for you – from hundreds of thousands of hotels worldwide.

This comparison site is available at www.emanilahotels.com.

Why not visit it now and check out how your favorite hotel compares with other hotels.

If part of your mission in life is to help promote the Philippine Community worldwide and help improve other people’s lives, then you’ve come to the right place. You can work with us as a contractor or as site partner.

At Emanila, we have a number of websites and internet properties that you can work on. Our websites are designed to help us achieve that mission.

And yes, we are open in acknowledging that to help sustain our mission, we need to make our operations financially viable. We therefore have to continuously look into new approaches and techniques on how emanila and its network websites can provide value-added services to our sponsors, advertisers, members and users.

Global search engine installed at emanila sites

Team Emanila — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 05:04:08 +0000

We have recently installed a Custom Search Engine (CSE) at our portal site to search files and pages on emanila network sites.

The CSE is powered by Google and uses algorithms that output pages in terms of relevancy to the search criteria. The new search engine replaces our old search engine which was installed separately in emanila websites.

Test drive the new emanila global search engine here.

We were down and out

Team Emanila — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 23:01:01 +0000

Hi everyone

We wanted to post a quick announcement here concerning our downtime during the last two weeks, particularly last May 23, June 5 and June 6.

It appears that we are not immune to server-related problems as we had some hardware issues on one of our servers. This pretty much caused outages and downtime to all emanila.com-managed websites, but our friendly tech people are rapidly getting everything back in order.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Additionally, we are two days behind on support requests and sales inquiries. We hope you give us a little time to catch up.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
