Hey Guys

Heard your podcast this morning –> Its very enlightening.

Yes, Streetdirectory.com is finally back.

I would like to add some comments to your discussion;

1. Where Do we get the Maps
–> We got them from on the ground Surveys and Satellite Images which we purchased (with special approval from Police). Building our own maps allows us full control of the product. These maps are then hand make (there are over 2000 pieces) to make it Esthetically nice and beautiful .

2. Can I embed Maps on my side
Actually you can. While we dont allow users to reproduce the map directly and put them on their site, we have created widgets which users can use and paste it on their website. More info on the widgets here http://www.streetdirectory.com/publishers/location_map_widget/. Todate, there are over 1000 sites that have used these free widgets.

3. Advertisements
. They make the site free as mention by one of the speakers. The LCB ads are Location Centric Banner Ads. This users our location centric technology where Advertisers can target SD Users based on location & area. Currently, you dont see that because Volvo has bought the entire site banner but come Sep 08, you will start seeing different ads for different areas –> The ads then will be more relevant. Imagine searching for an Area in bedok and you can find the latest promotions in bedok or searching an area in Jurong and you will find a related ad about Jurong.

Hope this helps and thank you for your kind words on Streetdirectory.com. We will definitely strive to improve the service and continue to be the number 1 Mapping & Travel Site in Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia.
