Owls, Otters, Monkeys and Lions Near You.com. It’s not just Owls—we also registered ottersnearyou.com, monkeysnearyou.com and lionsnearyou.com. We’ll probably stop there though, or this could turn in to a very expensive marketing gimmick.

And owls.wildlifenearyou.com didn't present itself as a cheaper alternative?

Storing this data in a searchable ediscovery service is quite an undertaking. Speed will be key. If the API can handle the transactions, this could have widespread use.
