I just don't believe it can be done well nationally unless it is a network of small sites worked locally and consolidated into a national site but I don't see how you make any money at that.

That's sort of the approach that local.yahoo is taking.

Also, Citysearch has been doing that for years.

Overall we are as close as you can get to an up to date directory.

Are you selling your data? If not, why not?

Moderator Hat: Let's try to keep this as a generalized industry discussion. limitup and dh3325, you guys have both brought up good points about differentiation and data collection, so let's continue down that road but from an industry perspective.
