The blogosphere beckons!

Check it out this story in The Galveston Daily News. “Well traveled pooches owners sought” is the title of an article that very clearly demonstrates one of the Whitepages.com user scenarios that we’ve identified. Granted, this article hasn’t yet ended in your typically happy ‘pet’ ending, but at least it shows that individuals are using the site to help connect lost pets with their rightful owners. Nothing like a feel-good (or hopefully soon-to-be) feel good story to close out the year.

Also, when you get chance, make sure you read Vanessa Fox’s’ post on Search Engine Land. We typically don’t get tons of play in the blogosphere, so it’s great to see others recognizing how our future direction may impact internet users and their ability to access and/or control their online information. It’s a great article that references and even cooler research report that PEW/Internet released yesterday. Lots of good points brought up in both the article and the survey and certainly worthy of continued discussions.
