	How Expedia Funds Spyware
		What Expedia Should Do While Expedia continues advertising with notorious spyware vendors, other major advertisers have ceased relationships with such vendors and publicly voiced their disapproval of these vendors' practices.
		Expedia's recent comments to the Associated Press propose an appropriate initial standard -- that ads shouldn't be shown to users through advertising software users didn't agree to install.
		Expedia staff should review industry sources and perhaps even conduct hands-on tests of its own, to make sure the vendors Expedia supports are not vendors that install without consent or otherwise engage in undesired practices.

	Expedia: Value Where Nobody's Looking [Fool.com: Commentary] October 13, 2005
		Since Expedia does not break out income by geographic segment, it is difficult to tell whether the international growth is at a higher margin than the domestic market.
		Expedia's site should be able to scale very well and eventually offer better margins than it does for the U.S. market, if it is not doing so already, since there is no obvious leader in the aggregator market, and because the market is in an earlier stage of penetration.
		While Expedia's expected growth for the next five years is 15% according to analysts, I still consider the company to be undervalued, because I think these growth estimates are achievable, and even exceedable.
