Aries Penguin - Local Search Guru

I keep up on Local Search following these blogs.

Screenwerk - Greg has the inside track on new local search development.  His continued philosophy that “everything is local” needs strong consideration. 

Understanding Google Maps & Yahoo Local Search - Mike seems to be the only support you can find for Google Maps.  Unfortunately for Mike, he’s not on Google’s payroll.  His blog gives you a better understanding of Google Maps.

Yahoo Feeds - I subscribe to Yahoo Feeds with the keywords “yellow pages” and “local search”.  You get a little bit of noise but it’s worth the effort.  I also use this service for reputation management.
