Although I always am reluctant to suggest ideas to Google. They have more PHD's per sq ft than any place I know...and they control the sand box.. @Kathy It has, up to know, been the very poor stepchild of Maps....it is unclear how much if any exposure coupons will get. @Miriam – Thanks.

@Kathy It has, up to know, been the very poor stepchild of Maps….it is unclear how much if any exposure coupons will get.

It would be awesome having the mobility to place the coupon where you want to for expanded reach and traffic opportunities. I wonder if Google will begin to actively market this option since it seems to be news to most. That’s the first I’ve heard of this option.

Google could turn the LBC into one big social network...around not just coupons but verification and other cooperation as well but dang they can't even seem to get you guys stats in Canada so maybe we shouldn't give them too many more ideas, till they get what they have fixed. :) Matt
