Always seems churlish to say but, Why?
The Internet is creaking with crap, and Scoutbox is not crap but....
ever tried using the Internet to find a product? You might be lucky
and get a supplier in the first page, but more likely are a load of
comparison sites, or other directories thrown up by the search, none
of which give you what you want.
Is there a possibility that we will end up not being able to find what
we want because of all the "directory" type services that appear, one
leading to another....
