Maxfli
The Maxfli web site is quick and to the point even though there’s a lot going on with the Flash. Nice use of dark colors. It contrasts with the white golf balls in a neat way.
Ron Paul Web Site
While I’m looking at web sites for presidential candidates, I can’t help but mention how nice the Ron Paul 2008 web site looks. It’s very clean.
Fishy
Something’s fishy over at Fish Marketing. That’s probably the most obvious thing about this site. I know you’ve probably come to expect more from the copywriting on BrainFuel however that’s the best we can serve up today. I’m writing about fish and I can’t even come up with a better pun.

Mr. Beer
The Mr. Beer web site is pretty cool. I like the confident use of red in all of the pages, and how they’ve provided tons of content.
Life Fitness
This site is REALLY good folks… check out Life Fitness. They make fitness equipment and I’ve personally used their bikes and circular machines and they’re really nice. Expensive, too, the circulars sell at over $3,000. One of the better sites I’ve seen recently.
Nifty Site Navigation (O’Neill)

WOW, can’t wait until it accesses UK based sites – the results are a little random tho ?

Hi Mark, I agree. It’s a little bit random. I think that’s because it’s pulling data off of web sites, and not a Yellow Pages Directory type database. So the data is incomplete – it only returns results if a web site somewhere lists the zip code and the search term.
With time it will improve.
Actually, Chris, it munges Yellow Pages information with its index to create the results:
How does it work? Is it like Yellow Pages sites I’ve seen elsewhere?
“Google Local takes a new approach to helping users find geographic information online. We analyze the content in our index of more than 4 billion web pages and combine that information with Yellow Pages data to provide the most comprehensive local search experience available.”
