Google has taken live on its homepage a new service for locating local businesses, which scours millions of Web pages and crosschecks the results with the Yellow Pages data. Google Local was previously part of the company's Google Labs development sandbox, but has now been deemed ready for widespread use.
One example cited by Google is using the service to find an auto parts store within walking distance. Google Local shows results on an area map, and can limit results to a specific distance from a user's starting point. For frequent local searchers, Google remembers the location in which to look.
hmm. Not bad. Apparently this service is supposed to work with cell phones too or something through text messenging. Anyway, I only wish they'd have support for entering "street names" as well as postal code. Not many know the postal code of the street they'll be on.
