HotelTonight Launches on Android, Now in 18 Cities

As Paul Carr and I have written endlessly, we're big fans of anything disrupting the hotel industry in a simple way that with a clear user value that doesn't try to be all things to all people. HotelTonight-- a mobile service that allows you to book a last minute hotel in seconds-- does exactly that. We test drove it in San Francisco the weekend before MacWorld to see if it really worked. Spoiler alert: it did . So far HotelTonight's iPhone app has been downloaded 600,000 times. And today, Android users who travel a lot and hate to plan can enjoy the service too.
