Blogs and businesses
DeepBlog is a new site that offers you "An Easy Guide to the Best Bloggers". For those just starting out reading blogs, this would be a fine way to get started. It gives you a selection of blogs under various categories. There's also news about blogs, and links to blogs on hot topics. (Via Doc Searls.)
On a totally different topic, Amazon has just released an add-on to their A9 search engine: A9 Yellow Pages Search. This Yellow Pages search has features not found in other YP searches, including pictures of the businesses in some cases, so far only in a few major cities, not in the sample search (Charlotte). Here's an example with pictures, in Atlanta.
A few weeks ago I posted a link to a site that did a similar thing with London businesses and said I wished someone would do it here. Amazing how whenever I wish for something on the Web, it shows up eventually. Not the first time this has happened. Obviously the Web allows ideas to spread in ways we don't even comprehend yet. posted by liz at 3:14 PM
