FreeSpot Directory changes

With the growing number of locations being added to the Directory some of the pages, California for example, were getting less "user friendly". When I first started adding locations I decided to list them alphabetically by city/town but it became hard to scroll down the page looking for city names and then look at each individual listing. So I've made a slight change that hopefully will help. The cities and towns are still listed alphabetically but they are highlighted in bold text and the listings for each are now grouped below them. Several pages - CA, NY, OR, WA, CO, IA, MI, MA - have the changes now, others will follow. Let me know if this is better. (A searchable database driven site would probably be better but that's still a ways in the future)

Wi-Fi Office

The Feature has a brief story about people using a San Francisco coffee shop as their office.

"There are about a dozen regular customers who treat the place as their office. They connect to the Internet using the coffee shop's free WiFi (802.11) network."

Read the full story.
