Google is trialing local search in China via Google Bendi, a service similar to Google Local. According to MacWorld, the service provides business info in 170-plus Chinese cities. The site also includes mapping through Chinese Mapabc.com, AFX News reports. Baidu.com, which has been gaining market share at Google’s expense, already has local search.
Amusing note that shows just how similar this is to Google Local … when I went to the site to test the url just now it picked up on my Google Local stored zip code.
