Most Searched Brands on Where...
Per GigaOm:
"Wal-Mart, Pizza Hut, Target, Papa Johns, McDonald’s, Bank of America and Taco Bell."
My question: how often do people search for a particular brand vs. a generic. That is, how often do people search "pizza" vs. "Papa Johns"? And, what does that say for the mom and pop hyperlocal vendors?

LBS Users: Helpless? Clueless?
TechCrunch's MG Siegler wants to note how cool the latest Google Android app that finds businesses around you is in this article. He explains why he needs it:
I’m in New York City right now for Internet Week and considering I haven’t been here in eight years, I’m fairly lost most of the time. I’ve gotten by just looking out for big groups of people with iPhones to figure out where I should be going, but when I’m by my lonesome and just looking to get a quick bite to eat, I basically have no idea where to go.
Wow, that's sad.
