Finding Local Websites

Way Off Topic 3 Comments »

The Internet is a big place and sometimes it is nearly impossible to find what I’m looking for. I feel a lot of frustration when I’m conducting a search for something local. Most of the search results are nothing related or useful to me.

I found London advertising directory. It’s a great example of the type of local information I seek. The only problem is that I’m not in London, so therefore it isn’t very useful to me. But for someone looking for London businesses, it is a great resource. The London directory lists the address and the website of a business. You can rate a business and leave comments. Find out which links are mostl popular with visitors to the London advertising directory. You can also view top links or random links.

If only such as resource as the London advertising directory existed for my local area. The Internet is a really big place and useful links can easily get lost in the mix. Web directories with a narrow focus are a nice source for useful information.

Amazing Race

With the Academy Awards tonight, there is not much on TV tonight. But my favorite reality show The Amazing Race did have a new episode.

I’m sad that Kevin and Drew were eliminated from the race. I was pulling for them as I thought they were great in season 1. Drew injured himself in the episode, and I don’t believe mentally they recovered from that.

Joe had seen a tease for tonight’s show that alluded that Rob and Amber went from first to last. They did, for all of two hours in the middle of the night.

Rob and Amber once again finished the leg first. Oy Vey. At least they weren’t that obnoxious tonight. In fact, Amber was helpful to a competitor in the Road Block.

Now to find another team to root for. I still like the Kentucky couple Mary and David. They finished in the back of the pack so hopefully they will move up and not leave next week.
