A Moratorium on City Sites

Just back from ILM:07 - we had a great time, and met some extremely interesting people (far more than us).

One thing that some people were/are uncomfortable with are our city sites. Though we have always (and will continue to do so) that our sites have the exact same data we sell, and it is what you do with the data that is most important, we still recognize that some can be uncomfortable.

So we have placed a moratorium on city sites for a minimum of 12 months. They have been effectively removed from the front page of iBegin.com as of today.

    […] We stopped working on #5 over a year ago, and removed all links to the city sites over 5 months ago […]
