AOL moves AOL Local Search into Beta – it’s very slick
by Allen Stern on March 15th, 2007
AOL has moved their local search into Beta mode tonight. And I have to give it to them, it's pretty slick. They are using Mapquest on the mapping technology and as I have said a billion times already this year, Local is where it's at.
What I really like about it is how it refreshes the local options as you move around the map. So start in 10036 (Times Square) and move to 11235 (Brooklyn) and the options move with you. I don't think Google even does that!
Ratings come from users on AOL Local and the maps and results come quick. Of course, this type of local search would be great on Yelp!
And this is different from http://city.ask.com in what way?
