Block View on A9.com

January 27, 2005 at 9:00 AM

Amazon's A9.com has just launched "Block View" which is basically a photographic sideshow tour of each physical street block to help aid in finding locations via the Yellow Pages. See this photo of ZAAZ and the Peter Miller business downstairs. Here is the scoop from Amazon and a news story from IHT (the only site covering it that didn't require me to sign in or register). Will this feature be useful? Perhaps, but there is still a lot more work A9.com needs to do to improve overall findabillity, such as: How do I switch the side of the street I am looking at? and how do I move down a different street if I am looking at a cross street? Etc.
