MSN Goes Local

[AussieWebmaster]

Seems they did not want to be outdone so MSN has launched their own version of local search.
Have to hand it to them they are willing to meeting all the new widgets Google and Yahoo are adding.
It should be interesting once the advertising arm gets to use the various demographics that are being promised.

Meanwhile here's the link for the local search to play with:

Personally I think this one is more intuitive than the other two... or at least better laid out.
The problem is they have it in the main drop down but are not pushing it much.

They just announced it at the Local Search - Issues and Opportunities - WMW Conf session.
