Join us to learn more about local search and how it affects you.

Bing, Bang, Boom

Microsoft launched their new search engine Bing last week. My first impression? It's visually stunning and looks to give Google some real competition.

I'm doing some research into it, focusing of course on how it's going to play in the local search industry. My focus has mainly been Google and Yahoo, but it looks like I'm going to have to pay attention to Bing as well!

I'll have a more detailed report for you once I've done some more research.
