Which messenger bag should I get for a 15" macbook pro?

The answer was Crumpler of course and I went to Google and did a search on "crumpler nyc". Then I found the Crumpler store in my neighborhood and clicked on the link. I got a page that looks like this:

1) a user friendly URL:

not this - [http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&q=crumpler+nyc&fb=1&view=text&latlng=5061625533362562256&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=5&ct=result]

something like this - [http://maps.google.com/crumpler/manhattan/westvillage]

2) the ability to domain map the page - talk about taking ownership of a page. If Google allowed local merchants to domain map these merchant pages with their own URLs, that would be a huge step in the right direction.

3) the ability to skin the page or at least do some simple branding on it.

4) let the merchant take over the "overview" and "details" tabs and enter their own content in them.

5) calls to action: email, click to call, buy online, etc. Google can power some of these services themselves and allow merchants to enter their own call to actions.
