Localized version of Yahoo! Locals
Yeah, Its been a long time since I’ve updated my blog. Lazy me, Too many things happening at the same time. Too much happening at the twitter front as well, holydevil – my twitter handle.
Yahoo! India has launched locals. I haven’t really done some serious digging, All the usual stuff like send email, send to mobile, auto complete for cities is all in place. I saw a new feature called ‘leave my footprint’, pretty interesting. They have integrated Yahoo! India maps (one of my favorites) with the listings. As of now there have listings for four major cities of India. Hope they cover the other cities along with Goa soon. Can’t wait to find some new places to eat yummy fish.
One thing which needs a mention here is, Adding new listings in Y! India locals is much much simpler compared to adding listings in Google local for India. Adding listings in Y! India locals is a one step procedure but the same process takes about 5 long steps (excluding the verification process) in Google locals India.
Here goes the url for Yahoo! India Locals – http://local.yahoo.in
That’s it for now. I have a nice topic to blog about, will post it (along with a screen-cast) in a couple of days.
