Well I stated before that I was looking forward to the launch, not I am not so sure. We have the hype building up in press releases [heraldsun.news.com.au], but really, what counts is the results, and, until there is an official launch, the beta test looks none too impressive. In the words of Jerry Maguire, "Show me the Search Engine!"

I just wonder how much the corporate machine wheels are being oiled in anticipation of a launch. Has anyone had any contact from Sensis/YP/Telstra sales type people pushing paid listings or advertising as yet?

Australia certainly needs more search facilities and outlets, but the results seen so far do not cut the mustard, and, despite a so called "captive audience", I can't see the public sticking with it if it does not perform. I hope for the best, but as yet I'm am not convinced.
