Early days for it, but hopefully worth us all investing a bit of time entering our properties as it's currently free to list for it's first year.

There's also a thread running in the owner to owner section, where more discussion is taking place. viewtopic.php?t=26755
From that thread here's his quote:
Nigel Goodwin wrote: The concept is that it would be:
- purely a listing site, not a booking site
- for owners and small or medium size agencies
- can be used with or without a third party booking system
- has iCals and more integrations with booking systems
The basic functionality, including iCals integration, is complete.
- has a flexible pricing model
The business model is I want it to be cooperative and collaborative and commercial. I will have more news on the business model later, but the idea is to have a wide spread of equity ownership.
Most income or equity revenue would be directed at marketing costs.
At present, all listings will be free for at least the first year.
