 Miriam Warren, Director of Marketing with Yelp, is speaking on the cool mobile apps panel next week at SES Toronto, moderated by none other than Mitch Joel.
She was generous enough to answer my many questions about all things local and mobile. We've posted the results over at the Search Engine Watch blog.
If your iPhone literally "tells you where to go" (with the help of an uber-reviewer like "Andre D."), rest assured Miriam will be pleased.Labels: mobile search, ses toronto, yelp

Google's news today is that their My Maps for Mobile technology will pinpoint your location based on cell tower signals, even on phones without GPS capability.
That's certainly useful, and I was wondering whether this really would be an alternative to GPS. Om Malik is typically on the ball when it comes to this story, and he's already given it the provisional thumbs-up. One point of confusion for me, though, is that he's saying it works best on newer generation phones like the Blackberry 8800. But the Blackberry 8800 already has GPS. What'll be interesting is if the tech works on my Blackberry 8700r, which does not have GPS. Stay tuned (literally).Labels: blackberry 8700, maps, mobile search
