WSIS Blogging: Kieren McCarthy in Tunis

A colleague, and a great tech journalist, Kieren McCarthy, is in Tunis this week for the WSIS summit.

Kieren's blog can be found here. He'll be reporting on the activities and news coming from the WSIS summit this week.

Having just arrived in Tunis, he writes in The Register:

You can directly measure the quality of a hotel by the amount of stuff in the room that leaves with the guest.

God only knows why you would want a tiny sewing kit or a miniscule bottle of moisturiser, but the better the hotel, the more they call out to you. Or the pens and paper. In the old days, being branded with a hotel's name would mean people were embarassed to be seen with them outside its walls. Nowadays, it's seen an invitation to stuff em in your bag - they call in branding in the wrong circles.
