Excellent. Now if we could only do something about the ad stuck in the middle of that article! :p

And as Robert Clough pointed out:

they are banning banner ads as well. Good deal.

Although, they do say this:
"It's kind of a next evolution of the yellow pages," Berkowitz said. "Here you can not only find your local auto dealer but also do research about buying a car. It's like combining the yellow pages with the library."
I don't agree that search engines are like the yellow pages. He went to say that 'paid search' is where it's at. Tell that to Google, the must successful at search and making money. "Paid Search", sheesh, what a bonehead. I hope the FTC comes down on the engines who don't separate the paid from the free listings.
