Loci 2008 is a year end review of articles in Local Search that will be appearing over the next week(s). For me, collaboration, cooperation, review and research create the path to increase our understanding of the world. That is even more true in the nascent industry of Local. In that vein, I wanted to share the articles that others in the industry have found significant from 2008.<\/p>\n
I have gathered these articles from a range of people, people whom I respect and who are knowledgeable about local search. \u00a0Each in their own way is a center of activity around local and each has their own particular perspective on which places in Local over the past year are the most important. Their voices, some more prominent in the industry than others, are voices that should be listened to as they are intimate with the many different facets of local.<\/p>\n
Here was the charge that I gave them: Join me, over the next few days as we look at what others in Local have read and think important from the last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.
