MSN Local
June 22, 2005
I have been remiss, due to travel, in not mentioning that MSN has launched a new local search function. Mediapost has the scoop.

Interesting that MSN's new Local has click-and-drag maps (ala Google Maps), but that's not a feature they're touting on their blog or in the MediaPost feature.
Maybe it's because it's pretty clunky right now. But obviously they're seeing the Maps thing as a key part going forward.
John - "I have been remiss due to travel" - will you be going to the World Economic Forum Global Young Leaders event this weekend in Zermatt, Switzerland?
Gotta love how they know right where I am before we even get started. On the one hand, it IS convenient. I'm sick of always entering my info into Google Directions. On the other-- why, hello, Bill! What are you doing outside my window?
