A little about ‘What Go’s On Tour.’
Firstly it Go’s, it goes, it just go’s
Yes, we did go to school (at least most of the time) and realize ‘What Go’s..’ should be written ‘What Goes..’ but we have a blogosphere given right to do it our own way. We’ll blog about the G O, often ask ‘hey, what’s the Go’ and we like the letters much better this way for typographic design. So our blog, our spelling 
What Go’s On Tour blog doctrine.
In the spirit of best practice, this doctrine is inspired partly by NetworkPr, SilkCharm, Direct2Dell and Channel 9.
‘What Go’s on Tour’ is all about conversations.
We encourage honest and informal dialogue to bring about productive conversations that help us all learn from each other and our collective travel experiences. We’ll listen as well as post to ensure we engage in two-way conversations. Our intent is to provide an informal place where effective communication between us and you to benefit us all.
‘What Go’s on Tour’ is the blog by, for and about Tourabout.
It’s an extension of our business for us and you where we hope to share, involve, learn and improve free of formal business requirements. This means the blog will be about ours and your travel experiences or our travel planning products, services or related technology stuff we build or be thinking about. Sometimes we might mention broader industry issues that might be entertaining, interesting or could possibly impact on the traveller community.
‘What Go’s on Tour’ is not about.
A place for spurious advertising. Free exchange of ideas and content doesn’t mean a free forum for Spam or Spammers. Yes, this means you Mr Viagra or Mr/Ms Anonymous with a link to something off topic. Friends and visitors can post links to interesting or valuable information that is related to the blog post. Nothing else allowed and will likely be deleted.
The Rules. For everybody.

Our Commitments

Comments will be moderated but we’ll attempt to post comments/respond, where appropriate, within 24 hours.
Straight talk.
We’ll think before we post and strive to have good judgment in all blog interactions. We’ll not hesitate to take on controversial issues if it’s appropriate to our traveller community or our business, but we’ll always strive to do so in a measured, thoughtful fashion.
Sometimes we may be quiet.
Some topics we won’t discuss. Political issues, legal matters, sensitive financial matters and topics unrelated to our business or industry, won’t occur.
