Good find, thanks for the tip. Will use this on the Richmond Wiki.

However for SEO purposes I like direct linking to the page but using the acronym as the anchor text. In your example it would be:

[[Ann Arbor Transportation Authority|AATA]]

Thanks, Oliver. I certainly would love to see some product images, and have conveyed the same via email.

Ed. note: Oliver’s email points to a generic corporate address at shaspa.com

Thanks for the mention. Will gladly send you some real product images from the Consumer Electronics show in Berlin (4.-9. September). At that time you can take a look at the customer case studies published.

Comment on Value in being the intermediary to AnnArbor.com advertising? by Stefanie Murray

Hi Matt,

As I understand it when the question was asked, Hassan said there isn’t an electronic system in place for the public to manage ads at launch. But I’m fairly certain this is something we will do. We won’t be able to do everything we want all at once when we launch on July 20; we are a start-up and we’ll be adding features and tweaking the site continuously with re-launches planned for October and early 2010. So I don’t think the answer to your question was “No” but rather “Not yet.” You are absolutely right that the interface needs to be easily understandable and digital.

Matt -

The DTE web site gives the contact information for Paul Ganz, the contact for the area.

I would bet that an email direct to him would get a response.

Comment on Links: hyperlocal, sci-fi & predictions, whack-a-mole by Edward Vielmetti

You could have a lot of fun with the combination of hyperlocal + big pictures. Add in a dash of school sports and I can just see the car dealer ads and the real estate ads on the side of the page.
