Possible new sidebar features - your thoughts?

I have been thinking about adding a couple of new features to the sidebar of the blog, much like the feature listing personal blogs featured in the past. You can let me know your thoughts by participating in the poll in the sidebar and/or leaving a comment at the end of this post. I will not add the features unless the majority of readers think it would be beneficial.

One of these features would be a list of Canadian based Homeschool Associations and support groups that have some sort of internet presence, sorted according to the province they serve, with an additional category for nationwide groups.

The other feature would be a list of Canadian based suppliers and curriculum representatives that have some sort of internet presence, sorted according to the province they are based in.

In order to be listed in either of these features, an official of the group or business would have to submit a paragraph about the group or business, including a link to their internet site or page. This pargraph would be posted in an edition of the carnival and then the group or business web address would be added to the sidebar feature. No group or business would be added without their approval.

What do you think? Beneficial or a waste of time and space? Thoughts, questions, comments?
