Local Search Continues to Expand

If you have a Facebook® profile, odds are you’ve seen the myriad applications that are now available for your page. While most of these are for entertainment purposes, there are a few that actually provide useful information to their users. Where I’ve BeenTM is one of the latter applications. Sure, the concept is entertaining—you get to show off to others the places you’ve lived or visited, and you get to compare your travels with those of other members.

But Where I’ve BeenTM has morphed into a valuable travel and local search resource, similar to Trip Advisor®. Users can see pictures, read reviews, find travel accommodations, and more, all at one convenient Web site. Ben Parr recently posted an article at Mashable.com that highlights some of Where I’ve Been’s newest features. To view his article, visit http://mashable.com/2009/04/27/where-ive-been-2/.
