Google Travel?

News.blog | CNET News.com: "Is Google building a travel portal? That's the conclusion of a ZDNet story (ZDNet is owned by CNET, parent company of News.com).
Google has posted a job opening for a senior account executive for a travel vertical based in Chicago on the job listings site of Mediabistro. 'Your main responsibility is to drive new business revenue growth with our Fortune 1,000 advertisers in a specified vertical in one or more regions,' the ad says.
'Now, let us consider the content. Google could work with any number of content partners, but could also include travel selections from its Google Video inventory,' the ZDNet article says. 'These selections could be integrated with destination guides, and even with keyword searches entered into Google Travel searches.'
The article suggests that online travel site Orbitz, based in Chicago, could be the online travel agency partner for Google. "
