Search Engines: 2

Design,Technology Saturday 29th January 2005

So, after my marathon post below about new search engine features, A9 have come out with a new Yellow Pages function. They went around some of the major cities in the US taking photos of all the shop fronts on either side of the streets. Then, when you search for a business you get an actual picture of the shop frontage. You can even ‘walk’ down the street by flicking along the pictures. All very cool.

Some has hacked it already (of course) so you can grab a view of an entire street. Nice.

And then a9 pay to get a shamelss plug into the OC, someone actually uses the phrase “a9.com-ed”. Doesn’t quite work aswell as “googled” 🙂
