Priceline and Ctrip are (separately) looking for buddies

March 18 in the evening a rumour hits the wire that Priceline (Europe's biggest online hotel company) is looking for local help to launch a Chinese hotel booking site.

March 19 in the morning a news story hits the wire that Ctrip (China's biggest online hotel company) is looking for an overseas partner to develop services for travellers to China.

Maybe each should set up a facebook profile and put the status to "random play"
