The Addressing History project, which will link data from several Edinburgh based street directories to contemporary maps, has posted an update on the work on their blog. It is a tad technical, but you'll get the point of how useful it will be, with exampes of how all the bakers in the city can be researched with a search, or all those sharing a similar surname.
The post is at http://addressinghistory.blogs.edina.ac.uk/2010/07/14/software-developments/ - looks like it is shaping up to be a great project.
