UKNM: Local Focus Sites

[James Bromley]

Can anyone give me opinions or examples of well executed sites that

focus on a local audience?


I believe this area has been tainted by low budget advertising led

directories, newspapers that replicate part of the copy from their hard

offering(no interaction)and local ISP's who have assembled local

businesses around their non promoted, now traffic free(!)urls.


"Local" on the Internet, it has to be said, is rarely credible, yet the

opportunities to link people who are within tangible travelling distance

of each other is a gold mine waiting to be found (at least outside

London).


Finally, as someone who has sat and earwigged for the past 12 months

since taking a "career adjustment" from new media, a warning; don't even

think about the traditional stuff, if you are on this list you have been

infected for life!  It pulls you back in.
