In a blog that’s primarily about all things related to blogs and blogging, I suppose that you are wondering why I am writing about a directory that’s related to the whereabouts of Chinese restaurants worldwide. This directory is found at http://chinese-restaurants-directory.com. Part of the reason that I am writing about this directory is that such directories are the forerunners of todays web 2.0 technology, forums and blogs. Therefore, I am going to be examining some key features of this directory. By the way, the other reason that this directory is interesting to me is that I am fond of oriental food, especially the Chinese variety.
You can search this directory on many levels so if you want to find a Chinese restaurant in your city, especially if you live in a metropolitan area, you can look for Chinese restaurants in your city. I went directly to the USA section of restaurants and found Nebraska, which is where I live. I then looked for Lincoln, the city in which I live. There were seven Chinese restaurants listed for Lincoln, NE but three that are my favorites were not listed. However, the directory offers a suggest directory link through which a restaurant owner can suggest the name address and phone number of their restaurant. It appears that in order to do that they must offer a reciprocal link to the directory. I realize that the owners of the directory are trying to build website traffic by requesting reciprocal links but I think that they would build there directory faster if they let the people looking for Chinese restaurants add restaurants that they know of.
Whether or not the Chinese Restaurants Directory is a form of Web 2.0 it is definitely a great way to find Chinese restaurants in cities that you are visiting across the globe. I would suggest that if the owners of the directory had the programming capabilities that they add a section where people could add comments about the restaurants that they visit.
