Are these sites any better than what Google provides (there using Google maps in the screenshot above)? I agree about the TouchLocal site -- I just tried it and don't even understand how to use it --- In general I can't find anything on these sites that would have me type the URL to go here everyday vs. Google/Yahoo. I think the best way to get information is go to Google/Yahoo sites -- it is the path of least resistance and the maps are amazing -- my customers use google/yahoo too -- not these sites. As a local business owner, what small businesses really need is someone who can help them advertise better on thegoogle/yahoo. I try myself but too much time commitment and too confusing......I like the Qype site though -- very easy to understand -- still will wake up and go to Google in the monring though. H.L.
