Web Beacon is a spankin new web directory which was built off of the same core data as GoGuides.
Helping Out
They do not have any editors yet so go get the category of your choice. Web Beacon has the same $39.99 one time listing fee as GoGuides, but no PageRank. I am going to give it a few links here and there to help bump them up to at least a 5 :) Disney and the Internet: Miserable Failure
Disney made a splash into the internet when they created the Go network. They dove too deep though and were soon swimming in their own blood. They disbanded the Go portal idea and killed their DMOZ alternative.
The Spread of The Disney Go Guide
With all those editors and nothing to do it was only a matter of time before they got together to create their own directory. The death of the Go Guide sprung the birth of JoeAnt and GoGuides.
In October of last year the owners of GoGuides had a falling out. Skaffe split off from GoGuides. In December GoGuides put its site up for auction with a minimum bid of $10,000. Many people bid large sums of money to buy the directory. In the end they did not sell as Mr. Barger did not have the heart to sell the directory.
He did however grant Mrs. Coby a license to use the GoGuides data and she created her own directory at Web-Beacon.com, as noted in a recent GoGuides press release.
