OMG: Earthquake in Reykjavik, Iceland
May 29th, 2008 by Happy Hotelier
After trying to get some things done and staying away from Twitter this week a bit, I just logged on and got a first hand report from my Blogging friend Hjortur Smarason of Marketing Safari that Reykjavik just had a 6.7 Richter scale earthquake.
I am almost certain Twitter is not over its capacity because of this earthquake. It is fluttering for some weeks now already.
I am experimenting away to get a decent screen shot from the conversation. Just to be able publish quickly I’ll give some links to Kwout:
Am I saved by the bell?
Maybe: The point is this: Hjortur asked me two weeks ago, if I would be interested to go on a Cruise in Iceland and blog about it. I had to decline because right now I am much too busy and also because my readership just from the Netherlands is a bit too small…..It just might not be interesting enough for his client. His relating post is this one: A Great Opportunity for Travel Bloggers
Constance who he is referring to is one of the two lady Bloggers of the Dutch Blog Vakantie Blogo who I introduced to him and who went in my place. Sorry Constance!

Constance reported already extensively about her trip in Dutch:

- IJsland
- Voordelig naar IJsland
- Cruise op IJsland>
- Boutique Hotel in Reykjavik I envy her for being able to review that
- Reis naar IJsland
- Cruise in IJsland
- Blue Lagoon
Well done Constance!
Update 3: 01.30 AM Local Time
Funny to see that I beat CNN by approx 4 hrs. Strange way of storing their stories here at CNN they quote me under From the Blogs.
