Do you guys believe it was really a bug? Kinda sounds fishy, and the way they were able to reply to your email pretty fast is unbelievable. It should take them a day or two to sort out all mails going into their boxes. So it’s official that it wasn’t intended or at least that’s how they want people to see it.

If I search anything related to local web design or search engine marketing the maps are gone. But if I search for say "snowboards Seattle" the map is there. Wondering if the maps will be coming back? It’s day 3 now that the maps have been missing from local search.
