Not a lot of Shelby fans in Michigan

Posted on December 15, 2008 | 4 comments

Even with the Treasury Department reportedly sorting through the potential of a automotive bailout package courtesy of the White House, there are apparently a few folks in Michigan who aren’t too pleased with the gentleman representing our state in Washington. Boycott Alabama Now is a website calling for a financial boycott of the state of Alabama to prove a point to U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (although they are saying that they’re not holding a grudge against those of us that work and live here).

Hasn’t this gotten just a little too crazy?

Networking Birmingham launches

Posted on October 29, 2008 | 2 comments

Folks here in the city are quite connected, but they’re always looking for new ways to do so. NetworkingBirmingham has recently launched, including listings from ten area chambers of commerce, including Birmingham, Homewood, Hoover, Mountain Brook and Trussville, as well as a variety of other networking events becoming a resource that allows folks to track business networking events throughout metro Birmingham.

Users of the site can create a customizable calendar of all the events they wish to attend. It was created by Man in the Maze Marketing with the idea of helping business men and women throughout Birmingham become more effective networkers. They will work hand-in-hand with various Chambers in the metro region to ensure that the most current and accurate information is listed on the website. Users of the website can submit all types of networking events to be included on the calendar as well.

Before we return to silent mode, we figured it would make sense to stress to folks to check out the tranist authority’s new website. New features include a ticker-style rider alert, planned integration of Google Transit, and most importantly, an easier to read and understand map for the system’s users.

Check it out and let us know what you think below.

Thanks for showing your love for Birmingham’s hub

Posted on October 17, 2008 | 4 comments

Most times you don’t get too excited when you place second in anything but …

This morning the results are out for this year’s Birmingham’s Best readers poll. We’re proud to say that we finished second in the best website category. We want to say thank you to everyone that took the time to vote for us last week!  Considering that we’re only 1½ years old and the competition we were facing was pretty stiff, we’re excited and humbled by the support that you showed us.

There’s still a lot more that we want to do this year. We hope that you’ll continue to support us and consider joining this motley crew of bloggers, photographers and casual onlookers as we do our best to serve you.

Thanks again!

A pending name change and a planned expansion also means an updated website for Birmingham International Airport. The change in design comes with one new feature that will make those that use the airport regularly a little happier – real-time flight tracking on the homepage allowing people to see if they’ll be leaving on time and if they need to get there a little earlier to pick up folks as they arrive. And if it’s not already up there, you can always look it up with their new Flightview function.

How much will that drive cost?

Posted on September 16, 2008 | Leave a comment

Considering all of the recent talk about rising gas prices and getting from point A to point B, especially after this weekend’s panic, we thought you’d want to check out this page. This results page gives details about driving from Birmingham to Salem, OR, but the site allows you to see just how much gas (and money) it would take for you to get pretty much anywhere you’re headed. It could come in handy, especially when the holiday season starts up.
