"Word of Mouse" on PassPorter's Club: What do folks think?

Someone today asked about feedback on the PassPorter's Club so far. Never content to simply give a simple reply (i.e., "an overwhelmingly positive feedback and response!"), I prepared this longish answer and I thought others might find it interesting.

PassPorter owes much of its success to what we call "word of mouse" -- PassPorter was a total unknown when our first guidebook came out in May 1999, but thanks to the Internet community we hit the Amazon travel bestseller list (# 11) by August 25, 1999. That blew us away, and the power of the Internet continues to amaze us. The simplicity of it is that we just listen to what our readers and fellow vacationers want and provide it, and you in turn embrace us and our sometimes quirky, slightly revolutionary ideas. The awards we've won are just icing on the cake. What really matters is YOU. As a reader recently said, "I love the whole PassPorter experience." That sums it up for us, too.

Anyway, you don't need me to tell you what people think about PassPorter's Club -- you can read their comments yourself. Here are several links to threads:

Thank you all so much for embracing our quirky, slightly revolutionary idea once again!

I'll add to this list over time. Perhaps our Club Passholders will post their thoughts here, too.
