Brilliant coverage

Some brilliant coverage of Brownbook over the last few days.

Absolutely brilliant. Its fantastic when other people write about Brownbook and really get it: what we have created, what businesses should use it for, the business model, how its good for search engine optimization, how businesses can customize their listing… here are 4 that I have found in the last few days:

This one that I found via Twitter from @sandnsurf: http://sandnsurf.wordpress.com/2008/12/24/brownbook-business-directory/

This one from Joy Hawkins: http://joyhawkins.wordpress.com/2008/12/20/cheap-ways-to-promote-your-website-part-1/

This from Sam at Startp Meme: http://startupmeme.com/brownbook-not-just-a-business-directory/

And this from Greg Sterling:http://gesterling.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/brownbook-joins-the-diy-website-crowd/

Although Greg is a search industry analyst, so he really should get it.

Brilliant, thanks everyone. If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions, comments, questions… then please do email Dave or I (marc[AT]brownbook[DOT]net) or catch us on Twitter: @marc_lyne and @daveingram
