Presentation Notes:
Lixto’s software harvests data from the web, consolidates and analyzes it for customers. As a non-techie, a lot of the presentation went right over my head (or maybe it was that it was 8 hours into the day when they took the stage), but it looked to me like a more comprehensive Google Analytics for pricing analysis.
Why should/shouldn’t travelers care?
If you can’t tell from the description of what Lixto does (above), it’s B2B business, with no application (that I could see) for individual travelers.
