Something I unfortunately neglected to mention during yesterday’s post: conceptually, I was quite impressed by the wealth of information presented during the Location Survey.

In addition to average three-star hotel rates as well as airfare (split by coming from West Coast, Central or East Coast) and notable attractions, you are presented with a quick breakdown of relevant taxes (to the uninitiated and/or European: those can vary quite a bit from region to region in the US).

The data could be presented better, as I have already discussed with Matt, but even as it is, it helps people answer the survey better, and gives a good “we did a whole lotta research” impression.

Possible improvements include:

• Extracting this data from the survey itself, maybe even with one page per location, as to make the survey itself more lean and clean
• Adding hyperlinks for each town, such as to the respective official tourist information site (e.g. visitdetroit.com), Wikipedia article
• Yet another hyperlink per town to some mapping site (Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Windows Live Local, whatever), which would also give you information such as distance, not to mention showing you available hotels, etc.
