"A9.com":http://a9.com/, (an amazon.com company) has unveiled a new Yellow Pages. They sent trucks with GPS devices and cameras down the streets of many metropolitan areas associating actual images from street level of the businesses listed in it's directory.

To get an idea of how interesting this is look at "this result for a search of BWC":http://www.amazon.com/gp/yp/B0003UVG6Y/002-4696393-8970452 in Dallas, TX, or perhaps, "this search for The Curtain Club":http://www.amazon.com/gp/yp/B0003WKRC6/002-4696393-8970452.

Of course it needs a little work. The interface allows you to walk up and down the street, but. for businesses that are on street corners it can be difficult, sometimes, to see the business from the images without going down around the corner.

Regardless, it's quite fascinating. Use A9.com to find your favorite place in your favorite metropolitan area and see how neat it is.
