What I should have said was Java Script ;0)). That's what happens when you write something at 1:06 am !.

Ya get what I was trying to say

Thats a fair enough point, but i've found that for most major business or businesses that are bothered to do some work are perfectly easy to find on google. Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea but its gonna need something (not saying i know what) that makes it stand out and worth paying for.

Are you telling me that if i type "the chemist next to the pub with the green door, up the hill on the right ?" that your site would find it? If your site (when its finished of course) could do that it'd be cool, but i doubt its plausibility.

P.S. sorry for being such a nob but you'll hear this sooner or later from someone else and i though 'sooner' would be better

BTW ... for Irish maps I'd recommend the local.live stuff ... last time I had checked at any rate they were way better. Google tends to have half of ireland missing roads ..

(someone may correct me on this its been a while since I've played with either)

Yeah, the directory alone isn't worth too much (unless of course there's a very healthy critical mass of entries), the entry level web presence is 'maybe' worth it ? ... but what the sites supposed to be all about is Opinions. Reviews, Ratings, Customer Feedback, People that give their feedback, etc.

Yeah, this very thing we're exchanging ideas on, a forum, is obviously one incarnation of same, for a different purpose, but at it's core, the same thing.

The 'draw', if anything will be the reviews, and the people that give their opinions. That's the magic that yelp.com captured. I'm just not 100% certain that the Irish public, in general, is up for it ?.

Making something free is OK, but one thing I've learned over the years dealing with folks here is that free can be interpreted as meaning "not worth anything", or atleast, that's been a common attitude. If someone can get something for free, then they're looking for a catch, even if there is none. However, if someone believes that a product has merit, helps them in some way, then as long as the price is reasonable, price won't be the determining factor.

Anyhow, I'm probably straying from the theme of this forum, apologies.

Cheers,
Attila

Not really. You're discussing the viability of an online project. That's relevant as far as I'm concerned
