Following on slightly from [webmasterworld.com...]

The White Pages Online has just had a make over - new front end which looks great.

I don't like how it does a business search first and not residential. A few poeople I have spoken to have said that the map search had a few problems.

The Tools section includes the normal Post code (zip code if you prefer), Map searching and (I think it is new) World Dialing times.

All in all, I quite like the new interface.

A prelude to Tuesday's launch perhaps?

PS I believe that you will see a large amount of TV advertising over the weekend.

Ha, didn't notice that, I always use the text search.

The new frontpage certainly loads faster than the old one, and they are certainly gearing up the promotion of the Sensis group of sites.

They apparently already have the facilities in place for the PPC stuff going by the "Popular Business Finder" results.

TV, ads? I'm sick of them already.

I just went to [sensis.com.au...] .

Found a couple of interesting things:

1. Sensis now describe themselves as a "Leading Australian advertising and search company", followed by a wonderful paragraph of text.
2. That heading and paragraph is part of an image! And the alt tags including descriptions such as "Introductory text".

Is this a bit ironic or is it just a slow Friday afternoon for me?

The whitepages seems to running faster as well - I suspect there may have been a hardware upgrade somewhere in there.
