I am pleased to announce that the LetMeGo team has just added a new Senior Developer, who will focus specifically on issues related to search engine optimization (SEO). Luis Betancourt, a veteran of the vacation rental industry, has agreed to add his expertise and enthusiasm to our organization.
Two years ago I took this picture of Luis at the Fitz Roy while traveling through Patagonia.
Luis and I have a long history of working together: he was a developer on Rentalo when I was working as the product manager of that service, and he was promoted into my role when I left that team. Eventually, he moved on to the position of online marketing manager, in which position he gained extensive experience in SEO and pay-per-click advertising (PPC).
Luis has spent the past year traveling around the world; as a side benefit of these journeys, he has enhanced his social networking skills. More specifically, he has become a “super user” (ambassador) of the CouchSurfing. This service is, after a fashion, a LetMeGo competitor, though given its focus on social networking and free accommodations, we should be able to coexist peaceably.
Welcome Luis!
Alexander is LetMeGo's co-founder and jefe. Here is his LetMeGo 
I have never heard of LetMeGo before…but what a great idea. So I can put in my vacation wishes and people with lodging will bid on my stay, Is that right?
Exactly. That is how it will work. We will open our doors to travelers in a matter of weeks.
Tzicos: I am really, really happy for both Luisito and LetMeGo. Best of luck, though you won’t need it. -Julie
