2. What actions are being provoked.
- More followers Expedia 
- Share information to friends.
- Participate the game in order to be winners. 

3. Are the incentives appropriate
 The incentives are appropriate for the targeted customers. We can choose the people whom we want to travel with for free. However, in general it is not appropriate. They contribute a lot for the game but in fact the people participate the game dont feel interesting as expected. 

4. Will these campaigns work - yes, why - no, why not
This campaign is not working very well.
- People can not know details of the tours ( hotels, flights) . The introductions of the prices and the tours are very general.

5. Do commercial campaigns change the essential nature of the social network used.
non, it won't. these social network are used as a private communicate tool for the most people
- difference between social media & social network
social media: google place / online news
social network: facebook/ youtube/ twitter
