Google Releases Local Search Tool

In another blow to local newspapers and their web operations, Google has released its local search tool, Google Local…Type a keyword along with an address or city name into the search box at Google.com, or its local site, to find maps, locally relevant Web sites and listings from businesses in the area.

For now, Google will not display local advertisements on the service, but it plans to do so in the future.
