Yahoo! Gets Hyper-Local

Yahoo has launched "Yahoo! Local" in limited beta. The initiative is intended to provide a hyper-local content experience across desktop and mobile (currently available via the mobile web on iPhone and Android), enabling them to discover and contribute to the best local news, deals, and events nearby, all in one place.

The goal is to provide content about what’s happening in user neighborhoods, whether they’re at home or on the go. Yahoo is testing in 30 neighborhoods in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Brooklyn, NY as well as Birmingham, Ferndale, and Royal Oak in Michigan. You can access the new experience from your desktop or mobile phone by visiting: http://beta.local.yahoo.com.
