on Apr 14th, 2008Streetdirectory.com BACK ONLINE TODAY! FINALLY!
Streetdirectory recently lost their lawsuit with LTA and had to pull their website down. But it’s coming back up today!!
Could someone be so kind as to post the link to the news article that explains why they got sued?
I guess to keep it civil and simple.
LTA, please don’t disrupt Streetdirectory.com service again, it’s really very inconvenient for us to search for directions. I bet many Singaporeans got lost and taxi drivers have been making more money in the past week because of this disruption. Yes, I took a taxi to Orchard Hotel this morning because I could not find the directions for a bus from Toa Payoh to Orchard Hotel for my family lunch (lunch was good by the way).
Streetdirectory.com , c’mon! You’re making tons of money, as we can imagine, selling advertisement space in your site! Why do you have to sue local companies of stealing your images? Making them pay thousands of dollars to show direction to their location?! You obviously deserved to get sued, and you should have seen it coming.
Bleh.
Just get on with life, give us back street directions so we won’t be lost sheeps anymore, but stop sueing people for said instructions ok?
Ok, now that everyone is happy…. GIVE ME MY DIRECTIONS BACK!!!

Hi Priss,
This is Melvin from 20twenty. We’re Virtual Map’s PR agency and we’ve been reading your posts regarding streetdirectory.com.
On behalf of the guys at VM, thanks for your interest in the website and how it’s fairing.
We’ve been receiving a lot of comments about how the loss of the site has inconvenienced people, so we’ve decided to come back online with most of our features like the popular bus/mrt guides. Unfortunately, the maps will have to wait, but hopefully this will relief your inconvenience somewhat.
So we’re hoping to engage opinion leaders like you to spread this news. Every now and then, we’ll keep you updated on the situation and once we make a breakthrough, you’ll be the first to know.
For a start, we put out a media release yesterday that I’d like to share with you. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll send it over. Feel free to email or call me.
Thanks!!
Warmest Regards,
Melvin Tang
