Mike Blumenthal is running an annual series of posts that involves a variety of people writing guest articles about important things that happened in local search during the previous year. I sent in a short piece a few days ago as my contribution, but the series started today with an excellent set of information and links about local search patents from Bill Slawski:
Loci 2009: Bill Slawski’s Important Patents of 2009
It’ll be quite technical reading, but highly worth it if you care to sort out what the search engines are doing re: local search. And then check back in the coming days for additional posts, or just subscribe to Mike’s RSS feed (which is a no-brainer of a decision).
