What is this website?
Small Fish Big Ocean is an environment where we can openly share
knowledge about small travel business ecommerce (Focussing on the
needs of small tour operators and niche travel agents). Topics
covered include online trading, web based marketing, web design,
bookings management etc
We are partly a social network, partly a forum and partly a
community learning project!

How often will I receive email from SFBO?
We will send you a monthly email outlining the latest updates from
SFBO.
If you take part in the forum conversations you may receive email
when a new comment has been added. You can unsubscribe from these
email alerts within your communication preferences in your profile
- or you can unsubscribe from individual conversations (from the
conversation page)
What is the community project?
Every month we pick a topic of interest to smaller tour
operators.
In the first week we will write an article on the topic and give
everyone a web based reading list for further study.
In the second week we will set you a task that you could do on your
own website. For example if we are talking about online video, the
task will be to add a video to your website. The forums on this
website will be here to support you through this.....
In the third week we will write an article discussing advanced
aspects of the topic of the month. Hopefully by then everyone will
know all about it!
In the third or forth week we will run a community event based
around this topic. It could be a "phone in" with your questions, a
live chat event or something else. It depends on what the topic
is.
You don't need to take part in the community project.....!
An archive of all previous articles can be found in the
article library
