Interesting post - only just found this. Getting stock levels from large retails would be easy - just an XML feed if they have it that is. Not sure about product descriptions though.

Thanxs for the recap. It was interesting to read about local mapping and video in the SERPS.

All types of local search is huge.

Kudos to Steve in my book, too. What I was pointing out was that his talk probably belonged on a different panel — that’s an organizer’s problem, not Steve’s problem.

“As much as I enjoyed Steve’s presentation, it did seem out of place on what was otherwise a panel about industry players and trends.”

LOL - I always have the exact OPPOSITE reaction at conferences! I am not NEARLY as interested in “industry trends” as I am in how to take ADVANTAGE of industry trends…seems like it is much easier to talk about what is coming next than it is to give tips on HOW to prepare for it. Your HyperLocal blogging is a great example. Yes, you coined the term and talked about its growing importance before anyone, but you ALSO give plenty of actionable tips on how to blog with HyperLocal focus in mind.

[So Kudos to Steve in my book :). ]
