Well, kind of a first ever...


France Telecom has a feature which allows you to drill down on a map of 

Paris to access a database of 350,000 photos taken of the streets of that 

city. I think its a great idea, although what a nightmare to update 

regularly...

A co-brand with the Yellow Pages seems to be the way to go. Meanwhile, 

shame on BT for not putting the phone book online.
