Streetdirectory should just go down… I hope bad UI and a hell of bad attitude. Sue other fellow SME for money. Stupid CEO with stupid BD team Stupid business model. Deserve to close down. I think their investor is Jobsdb. If you all have too much money go donate to the poor. Dun support this kindof business.

For businesses using streetdirectory.com maps or if you want your own location map, you can use this free service – http://www.elocationmap.com. Hope it is useful.

Sorry you had such a hard time on VM on your side, especially with relation to legal issues and closure of your friend’s father’s business, so I understand your rage against them.

Though I credit your valid points, you must still understand that your case here is still largely an isolated one and should not be a major deciding point on how Singaporean users should use Virtual map’s street directory as a whole.

I am a neutral user myself who commutes by train and bus, personally I found street directory’s map service is largely beneficial to my traveling needs and despite the presence and bombardment of ads (which sometimes can be misleading to click on accidentally), but I can commend that their bus and train services offered there far exceeds what SLA and shownearby can offer. To me, I define a good service one who can cater to my needs satisfactory whenever I need it.

True that the site is not perfect, but at least I know their PR are keen to listen and learn from their mistakes and I believe they should too especially with the launch of a new competitor, rednano.sg recently.

Let the battle begin!

streetdirectory still has the cheek to send this sorta press release! They sued my friend’s father for using their maps once and he had no choice but to shut down his business.

Mind you, he barely opened for 2 months of business!!!

They came knocking at his door asking for compensation not only for the map but for their investigation fees as well as other misc fees that were in US DOLLAR$!!!

Such a lousy website with such a lousy interface. Tons of ads even after they earned so much from suing people!

I cannot believe SLA can actually let them go scott free like that. When I knew about this case, I immediately alerted my friend to inform SLA about streetdirectory’s wrongdoings. I hope the authorities can do something about them soon.

Such companies brings Singapore’s reputation DOWN!
