Yahoo Launches Yahoo Local
by Kent Lewis on October 21, 2004UncategorizedSearch just keeps getting more local – but are we getting the results we want? Actually, they aren’t that bad…and have gotten a lot better since launching last year! Yahoo also adds merchant listings to each listing, which includes specific location information and a map. Some additional improvements:
— Streamlined rating and review system to enhance community involvement
— Improved integration of SmartView and driving directions from Yahoo Maps
— “Also try” search suggestions to help users quickly find what they’re looking for
— Improved interface for narrowing and sorting results by price, rating and distance
