Once you've finished developing it, all that's left is to persuade us all to use it. Oops, wait a moment, I guess that will only work for the U.S. Please let me know when you roll it out to Canada. Joking apart, it's a pretty nice website but I wonder whether it will get everyone to buy in to the idea. Ah, Burton, so you have a solution.

Searches are done without entering city, zip code, clicking on a menu or map, or using gps. A few words of instruction will allow the user to apply the search in thousands of places using existing road signs and maps. ..under development.

In fact the search engines are trying to encourage us to go with geo-cordinates (latitude and longitude). That's probably the ideal way but it needs some way in which the process is made more user-friendly. You have a point.

First you can't remember them all. Second, they are not geographically recognizable to the average folks. Third there are too many of them floating around for the engines to return in a relevant sort of way. No, the local web needs its own special codes whereby a location on the ground is readily identifiable, the same code being the same term used to search the local area on the web.
