Title: [ANNOUNCE] The Bit Pages - A Bitcoin directory for merchants and individuals
Post by: robamichael on August 12, 2013, 03:58:57 PM
Announcing The Bit Pages!

www.TheBitPages.com (http://www.TheBitPages.com)

The Bit Pages is a directory of both merchants and individuals with the aim of becoming a comprehensive resource for the Bitcoin economy. We want to facilitate new relationships between Bitcoin merchants and users, and help solve the problem of locating Bitcoin businesses.
 
As BitcoinTalk represents an essential piece of the Bitcoin community, we are inviting members of these forums to be the first set of users to sign up. Your feedback is highly valued, and we are eager to hear your thoughts during these early stages of development. So please take a moment to establish your own page, and we'd really appreciate you forwarding the link as an invitation to a few friends or merchants. With this project, we hope to strengthen the Bitcoin economy, and with your help of getting others involved, we are certain to succeed.
 
We are excited to begin a dialogue, so if you have any suggestions for the site, want to help out in any way, or are interested in a partnership, we are all ears!

Thanks for visiting, and I appreciate the feedback defaced!

I am noticing some slow loading as well. As we have just launched a few days ago, we have so far been working with limited resources. Soon we should be scaling up to match the network demand.

Please let me know if there is anything else on your mind.

Update

Yesterday, www.TheBitPages.com (http://www.TheBitPages.com) surpassed 100 listed merchants!

From 24/7 NYC flower delivery, to a lodge in the Guatemalan rainforest, we have come across some interesting bitcoin users.

We hope to keep up the pace, so please let us know if a merchant is missing from the directory.

Thanks grabhive!

We like what CoinMap is doing.

Definitely worth looking into collaboration possibilities when the time is right.
