Safari and geography based linking

| 3 Comments

I downloaded both Chimera and Safari. Chimera is almost 5mb larger (unexpanded and uninstalled). This leads me to wonder, the other major browser designed by an operating system company is heavily integrated into the operating system. Does Safari benefit from using system components which allow it to be smaller? I don't have a mac to find out, so I guess I'll never know. Or, maybe, when Dave gets back, he can tell me.

Yesterday I signed up at Boston online's blog listing which I found by registering at geourl.org as mentioned by Mark. It's a neat idea and a great solution to the problem of finding locations for things. It may even be possible to write a script that searches pages for their address, finds their geographic info, and adds them to the database, thereby increasing the usefulness of the tool.

Note: it seems geourl is currently down, probably due to the slashdotting it received.

nice site i really like it

Gee, I dunno! I have thought about this issue and its hard to get clarity. I, therefore, have to say I am totally undecided and it is nagging away like worrying about an early pregnancy test.
