Linky Goodness, March 26

The Linky Goodness Litmus Test™: Is it linky? Is it good?

These passed today:

SoloSEO launches LeaveFeedback.org, a free service for local businesses. It helps them get listed in local search engines and gives their patrons a place to leave feedback on the business. We know how people love to read customer reviews; if your local business is good, this should be very cool for you.
Guess who’s getting into the Facebook app game? American Airlines. It took them “a mere two months” to create their app. Aw, isn’t it cute?
Targeting the moneyed class? Turn to MySpace, LinkedIn and Facebook because Wealthy consumers are using social networks
The Wall Street Journal wonders about the future for AOL and Platform A. As do we all.
Infoworld cites Citigroup saying that Microsoft is likely to raise their bid for Yahoo to $34/share. Of course, that’s not what they said.

Nice idea Michael for LeaveFeedback.org, but I see an issue already. You are not providing any error handling page for incorrect zip codes or zip codes with no reviews. Serving a page with just a message saying what happened would be much more helpful that simply refreshing to the same Zip code search box.

Jaan, I think you need to read more of it first. There is no zip code field, that is a coupon code field on the home page.

Ahh, American Airlines would have been better jumping on the Facebook app bandwagon long ago. They’ll be lucky if they get 90 users out of the millions. No one cares about new apps on Facebook – the spammy ones ruined it for others.
