MyAllocator - has anyone tried it?

After rereading the comments regarding BPO i do feel more and more ambiguity about the meanings of the announced cooperation.
Jay says:
"BPO will integrate my allocator as his own channel manager."
Does this also mean they are owning or taking over the rights of MyAllocator now?

Adam says:
"The connection is for BPO users only."
Well. Hopefully the connection will stay available for NON-BPO users too? Or will it become exclusive for BPO users as this interpretation of Adams declaration is also possible?

Some public clarification to wipe out the ambiguity might be helpful. Maybe i should also add that for a software developer like me a non precise - or ambigue - explanation is to be avoided at any cost as computers tend to work with perfect precision and do not leave any place for a maybe, this just as an excuse for insisting so hard on this point.

Hi Adam,

Is there a date on when the BPO - MyA link is available?

Thanks

BPO connection with MyAllocator is a brilliant achievement for MyAllocator and shows how valuable HostelWorld sees opening availability for hostels to multiple OTA's. PMS integration with HostelWorld took years of lobbying HostelWorld so this MyAllocator integration shows a quantum leap on behalf of HostelWorld. When there are regionally dominant OTA's then hostels in that region often seek an integration solution and this is a great strength of MyAllocator. As an example - a hostel in Spain integrated with HostelWorld and seeking an automated integration with a the regionally dominant OTA "Your Spain Hostel" can now integrate with that OTA.

This trend towards Localisation is what is happening worldwide and what Google is seeking to enable. Globalisation is no longer so dominant so that an OTA on the other side of the world is less able to dominant a country they have little to do with. The more hostels seeking to communicate content that is local specific have an increased chance to be seen by travellers. The challenge is for travellers to find out who are the dominant OTA's for that region as they travel across borders.

Peter your thoughts are not immediately understandable by me. But after pausing to consider what you wrote I guess you are thinking that BPO users now will compete with your hostel on other OTA's. But this is the nature of OTA's that are aggregation sites listing lots of hostels. OTA's are not the place for gaining exclusivity so BPO users joining the lists is what was always going to happen eventually. A hostel should never be banking on OTA's for their business survival. OTA's are a back up to the main game. Personally I was expecting a different move from Hostelworld with regards to BPO. So my statement about HostelWorld placing value on integrating BPO with more OTA's does not mean I agree with it. It is just that - they place value on it as do a lot of hostels.
