This is always nice. We love blowing our own trumpet, but we don’t mind at all when someone like The Times wants to take over for a while. They just published a list that shows:

recognition of sites that have shown innovation during 2007 and which have added to or improved their offerings to become truly worthy of adding to your favourites.

And we made the list. In fact we’re right at the very top. And even though the list is “not necessarily ranked in any order” it still gave me a warm fuzzy feeling this morning. Plus the other sites are great too, so it’s fantastic to be included.

The full Times review is here:

We love: the cuddly and friendly nature of the site’s language; the intuitive navigation; the lists you can make; the fast links to neighbourhoods nearby the current item you are viewing, and the taste matcher

That was back in September and we’ve spent every day since then tweaking the service to improve it. Of course we’re nothing without the community so if this is your first visit to the site we’d love to see you around. Set up an account, play with the taste matcher and help us make TrustedPlaces even better.
