Every day, about 10 or 15 pictures (sometimes are more) of Buenos Aires are published in my blog called Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires running on Tumblr. 4400 published photos of this magnificent city. Incredible night and day views. Neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, intimate places, bars, cafés, street art, moments of everyday life, images of yesterday and today, advertising, vintage things, all images are used to build part of the identity of Buenos Aires in a “Click Porteño“.
These images are mine, in my other blog of Buenos Aires, you can see works of many other amateur and professional photographers. For now it is only an invitation to look, the idea is that at least once in their life, come to Buenos Aires, in Hostel Colonial we are waiting for you.
All publications are posted on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, you can follow us on these social networks. In the right column are the shortcut links.

On April 17 th., 2007 I opened my account on Twitter, it has been 2 years. I have no doubt that Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires was the first hostel in the world have an account on Twitter. Almost without realizing was joined followers and friends, slowly the network was expanded, there were very few in fact and in my case is not yet understood the importance and correct use of a micro-blogging platform like Twitter.
I like Twitter, I also like Blip.fm, both the social networks that are mostly used over Facebook, Orkut, Plurk, Jaiku and Pownce (no longer exists today).
Virtual friends became real friends. Some followers (mostly Argentines, we are First World. Do you remember? We find it too look inwards.) ceased to follow me, is almost a natural condition.
Every day there are more events related to Twitter in Buenos Aires, this is my debt, I could not go to anyone else. The network is vast and the result is absolutely positive.
Has been so long since we
Blog de Viajes, the
Best Spanish Language Blog, published “
A hostel in Buenos Aires was using Twitter“, learning time, until they came to be finalists in the
Lonely Planet 2009 Travel Blogger Awards –
Best Micro-blogging.
In the middle, the people, the most important thing in this way it has to transcend the virtual space of
140 characters, the ones who know, the ones who I know.
To all, thanks. Jorge

It´s strange to do a balance in these times of crisis and come to the conclusion that despite of everything, 2008 was a great year to the Hostel Colonial.
With no doubts, this was the year of the consolidation of the positioning that I´ve been working in the last days, a strategy that have increased our annual guests percentage, that came to a 60% average per year, in a market like Buenos Aires, where the offers have increased exponentially and the demand tends to retract.
Obviously, the money invested was $0, which potentialize the success of our job. Now, I actually think that the case of the
Hostel Colonial should be studied, analized and considered as a reference in the
Web 2.0 for this type of
accommodation, but, of course, the web is a giant and the
Hostel Colonial is too small.
The work done with the
social networks also was the consolidation of a effort, the wish and the sinergy generated in
Twitter,
Blip.fm (the great revelation),
Orkut (our main access to Brazil),
Facebook and
Plurk.
This
blog was completely redesigned and I really made tiring trips by
Buenos Aires to shot almost 400 published images and more than 1000 that were discarded, all of them with the
IPhone Camera Pro, a very good software for this gadget, essential for a
modern traveler. For the second consecutive year, we won the
Blogger´s Choice Awards, an effort with the guys from the
hostel staff, a
blogging strategy there´s a marketing one that helps to increase the traffic in almost the double (about 3000 unique visitors month) and convert the
Hostel Colonial in a 2.0 trademark.
SEO has to agree with me, see
here.
I´ve opened an account in
MySpace and will begin to work on it very soon, and if we had to be in
Clarín Blogs, the most important journal in
Argentina, there is also a space for the
Hostel Colonial.
We´re still the only hostel in the world on the
T-List and day by day we´re improving our presence in
Tumblr and Twitter, the
microblogging databases that I like the most. To finish and close the cycle of 2008, our new
blog is already online and being adjusted. It was developed in
WordPress and represents a great challenge for 2009, at least in these virtual environments, with no doubts, a great year.
Regards and prosperity. Jorge Ferrari, from the
Hostel Colonial,
Buenos Aires,
Argentina,
South America.
É um tanto estranho fazer um balanço em meio a uma crise sem precedente e chegar à conclusao de que apesar de tudo, 2008 foi um grande ano para o Hostel Colonial. Sem dúvidas, foi o ano da consolidaçao do posicionamento sobre o qual venho trabalhando nos últimos tempos, uma estratégia que tem melhorado nossa porcentagem de ocupaçao anual, chegando a situar-la em índices superiores a 60% em média/ano, em um mercado como Buenos Aires, onde a oferta tem crescido exponencialmente e a demanda tende a retrair-se. Obviamente a inversao foi de $0, o que potencia o sucesso do trabalho empreendido. A essa altura já penso que o Hostel Colonial teria que ser um caso de estudo e um referencial na Web 2.0, especialmente para este tipo de alojamento, mas claro, a web é muito grande e o Hostel Colonial muito pequeno.
O trabalho nas redes sociais também foi a consolidaçao do esforço, a vontade e a sinergia gerada em Twitter, Blip.fm (a grande revelaçao), Orkut (nosso grande acesso ao Brasil), Facebook e Plurk. O design deste blog foi refeito em sua totalidade e realmente empreendí roteiros cansativos por Buenos Aires para produzir as quase 400 imagens publicadas e as outras 1100 que foram descartadas. Todas com o IPhone Camera Pro. Por segundo ano consecutivo ganhamos o Blogger´s Choice Awards, um esforço conjunto com o pessoal do staff do hostel, uma estratégia de blogging e uma estratégia de marketing que em conjunto contribuem para posicionar, aumentar o tráfico em quase o dobro (uns 3000 visitantes unicos / mês, muito para um blog de um albergue) e a converter o Hostel Colonial em uma marca 2.0. SEO me dará a razao, vea esto.
Abri uma conta no MySpace e em breve começarei a trabalhar nela e se teriamos que estar em Clarín Blogs (O jornal mais importante da Argentina), aí também há um espaço para o Hostel Colonial. Continuamos sendo o único hostel no mundo incluído na T-List e cada dia melhora sua presença em Tumblr, que junto ao Twitter sao as duas plataformas de microblogging que eu mais gosto. Para finalizar e fechar o ciclo desse ano de 2008, já está online e em fase de ajustes nosso novo blog desenvolvido em WordPress e que se apresenta como o grande desafío para 2009, ao menos nesses entornos virtuais, sem dúvidas, um grande ano. Saludos e prosperidade. Jorge Ferrari, desde o Hostel Colonial, Buenos Aires, Argentina, América do Sul.

It´s been almost 2 years since I´ve created my account in
Twitter, the first
social network I´ve logged in from the
Hostel Colonial and I still think that little by little, we´re getting out of the bubble that represents the
Internet and taking back the lost spaces in the streets of
Buenos Aires.
In every street of this world, there are sensations, fellings, experiences. Behind each avatar there are people, sinergy, empathy, there´s a necessity of creating, generating something. Let´s set an aim for 2009: Convert the avatar in people.
Hostel Colonial – Redes Sociales – La gente detrás del avatar
Ya casi pasan 2 años desde que abrí mi cuenta en
Twitter, la primera
red social a la que subscribí desde
Hostel Colonial y sigo pensando que muy lentamente vamos saliendo de la burbuja que representa la
Internet y vamos recuperando el espacio perdido en las calles de
Buenos Aires, en las calles de todo el mundo, hay sensaciones, sentimientos, vivencias. Detrás de cada
avatar hay personas, hay sinergia, hay empatía, hay una necesidad intrínseca de generar algo. Empecemos un objetivo para 2009:
Convertir al avatar en personas.

Why all the work with every day that I had to get into this? The
blog takes work, the
blogs of the
restaurants, too. Managing restaurants is a very hard work. Being present in different
social networks takes a lot of time. Well, and doesn´t end here, however, be a father of three little kids and husband, is also a great job, very gratifying indeed.
It was necessary to add a new task and a new challenge? Yes, definitely. Why not? The
technology,
communication and
marketing are changing continuously and at a incredible speed. Ok, will wonder what I´m talking about?
Simply a new
communication tool (one more …) I’d like to call
blogweb, as a matter of relevance. A great work done by
Alejandro Velazquez , a turning point between an old
web page, the
blog on
Blogger (this blog!!), the
microblog on
Tumblr and my introduction as editor in the
Wordpress world.
Why so many developments for a
hostel? Because I believe that this would be doing all things. Business are business, but it’s nothing if one doesn´t take risks, if it doesn´t do things with passion.
No matter the size of my business, no matter the money, if one day one of my kids can say –
My dad was the one who introduced me to the Web 4.0. A major objective. That’s going to live every time, that’s what I intend for my life and
Hostel Colonial is part of that.
Evolution, and achieves the best results. I don´t know how many
hostels do a job like this. I have the perception that this
hostel, from here, from
Buenos Aires, will be a major reference (I think it´s). That’s all for now, will soon be online the new project, you can see a breakthrough
here.
As you know, in a few days another site where they read about what happens in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Hostel Colonial, backpacking and the world of low-cost travel.

Blip.fm is just like Twitter(it has 10 extra keys to write, I don´t think there will be another mobile user with this feature) specially adapted to music. The intention is showing to the others what you are listening to right now, but more than it, you got the option of discovering what the other users are listening in the same time as you, and also find different versions or covers of the same song.
The interface is very similar to Twitter´s and it also allows you to add your favorite users and then, create a community. Lots of favorite Dj´s are in Blip.fm, because the invitation to the network came from a Twitter user. It is also possible to upload and programme your MP3 files. In the lateral, there is a sort of keyboard, for example, to turn up the volume you type the (+) key, to turn it down, you press(-),to play/pause press the space bar, to get foward or back in the playlist you can use the sets (? o ? respectively). With the “p” key, the playlist is refreshed.
As it says in their own description:
“Get a Blip by user ID, or for multiple user IDs. Get the most recent Blips for a user, sequentially listed by most recent. Create your customized music station with Blip.fm. Be your own DJ and then share your station with your friends, or have your friends program your station for you. Share your musical interests with millions.”
The Hostel Colonial is already on Blip.fm, all of you guys can listen to our songs by this link:
Blip.fm é como o Twitter(tem 10 caracteres a mais para poder escrever, com o qual creio que nao haverá um usuário móvel dessa ferramenta) adaptado especialmente à musica. O objetivo é mostrar aos outros usuários que música você está escutando agora mesmo, mas além disso, você tem a opçao de descobrir o que os demais estao escutando no mesmo instante que você e também encontrar diferentes versoes ou covers de uma mesma música. A interface é muito parecida a do Twitter e ainda disponibiliza uma funçao para adicionar usuários favoritos e assim formar uma comunidade, de fato muitos dos DJ´s favoritos estao aí, já
que o convite para a rede partiu de um usuário do Twitter. Também se pode subir e programar seus arquivos MP3.
A barra lateral dispoe de atalhos de teclado, por exemplo, para subir o volume pressione a tecla (+) e para baixar, a tecla(-). Para reproduzir/pausar se pressiona a tecla espaço e para avançar ou retroceder na lista de cançoes você usa as flechas de direçao (? o ? respectivamente). Com a tecla “p”, a lista se atualiza.
Como diz sua descriçao literal:
“Tenha um Blip por user ID ou por muitos user IDs. Obtenha os mais recentes Blips para um usuário, sequencialmente listados desde o mais recente. Crie sua estaçao de música personalizada com o Blip.fm. Seja seu próprio DJ e entao compartilhe sua estaçao com amigos, ou deixe que programem suas estaçoes para você. Compartilhe seus interesses musicais com milhoes de pessoas”
O Hostel Colonial está em Blip.fm, todos podem escutar nossas músicas nesse link:
