My pals at O’Reilly, and Nat Torkington, the program chair, in particular, have made a 10% discount available to Searchblog readers who might be interested in attending the Where 2.0 Conference later this June in San Francisco. For the discount, hit this link, and use the “wherejbat5” code. I’ll be leading the panel discussion on – what else – local search.
From the conference site:
Where 2.0 covers the movement of mapping and location technology from the theoretical to the masses, illustrating the creativity that’s waiting to be unleashed as the tools and data become readily available.

Fred ponders the role of Google in our world, and Jeff responds. From Fred’s post:

Google News RSS Scraper
Via ResearchBuzz, a tool that scrapes Google News (and Google News searches) and turns them into an RSS feed. It's called ScrappyGoo, and it's against Google's TOS. My view: change your TOS, Google, or start supporting RSS, er, Atom, er, feeds in a more robust way. This is a…
