			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mediaserver.pulse2.com/uploads/2007/05/oddpath_logo.png" title="Oddpath Logo" alt="Oddpath Logo" align="right" /><a href="http://oddpath.com/"><strong>Oddpath</strong></a> launched on May 6, 2007 and is a local search engine that contains a listing of North America&#8217;s businesses.  To navigate around the website, you can filter listings by state and then business types.  You can also filter listings by typing in a zip code or city name.</p>
<p>As an example, I&#8217;ll click on Michigan:<br />
<img src="http://mediaserver.pulse2.com/uploads/2007/05/oddpath_ss1.png" alt="Oddpath Screen Shot 1" /><br />
Next you can click on places of interest or type in your city.  I&#8217;ll display screen shots of both options.  Below is a screen shot of what displays after you click on a state:<br />
<img src="http://mediaserver.pulse2.com/uploads/2007/05/oddpost_ss2.png" alt="Oddpost Screen Shot 2" /><br />
Now I&#8217;ll click on Restaurants.  Below is the listings:<br />
<img src="http://mediaserver.pulse2.com/uploads/2007/05/oddpath_ss31.png" alt="Oddpath Screen Shot 3" /><br />
The first page starts with restaurants that begin with an &#8216;M&#8217; so I&#8217;m not sure exactly how they order their listings, but users can always search for places of interest as well.  Users can also search via mobile phone at <a href="http://m.oddpath.com/"><strong>http://m.oddpath.com</strong></a>.</p>
<p>As another example, I searched for &#8216;pizza&#8217; in zip code, 90210 and the results seemed to work very well:<br />
<img src="http://mediaserver.pulse2.com/uploads/2007/05/oddpath_ss5.png" alt="Oddpath Screen Shot 5" /><br />
The listings appear to be in order of distance from the zip code central point.</p>
<p>If users create an account, then they will be able to add places to an address book which they can also access through a mobile phone.</p>
