I am not sure about whether it is done better, or just different. One point raised was about a lack of sales process. I am not convinced that is a benefit.

Real time and up to dated and accurate business listing data would make it so much more useful. how do I obtain a license? and do you have the residential listing data too?

Anything build around sharing data cheaply (well, for that market anyway) is a great idea.

Our ETA for other countries (including European countries) is 16-20 weeks. Half the battle is the data, the other half is geocoding. Any specific one in mind? We have discussed categorized pricing, but nothing is planned for the immediate future. Of course the benefit is that since this *is* raw data, creating a specific category (ie hotels) is not too difficult. Provided Nearyoo is US-based, our data is the perfect fit for you :) Depends on what you define as ’soon’ :)

Most of your 15 things seem indeed to make your point. Do you intend to cover Europe any time soon ? (data is even much less available than in the US, let alone "open") Do you consider doing 'fractional' pricing per state when only a certain category of businesses is needed ? (e.g. only hotels, or bars) Very nice work !

Australia is also in the pipeline - just some other stuff (ie geocoding) can be a bit of a headache :) Yep - me and Allison (Director of iBegin Source) will be there.
