The Lifelong Learner         by Stanley Kubasek | About Me |

Are you looking for coffee shops in the area where you live? No? Are you looking for barber shops in your area? No? Are you looking for anything in your area and want an easier way of finding it? Sure you do. Google Local to the rescue! It let's you search in your area. Plus, it shows you the location in the presented, zoomable map. Wow! It's amazing what Google is doing. (Maybe their stock price is where it should be? :))

Google Local: check it out for yourself!

I remember a professor in my freshman year in college talking about this. He said, that in the future you'll be able to search locally. That's exactly what this is. I believed in what he said, as it made sense. It was just dificult to do. And now, localized searches are almost a reality (almost, because I don't know if this is 100% effective). This will be big!
