  If you’re a publisher with a local sales channel or an independent local sales channel, you need to have an answer to the following scenario.

• Quick Thoughts about Next Year

  
  Screenwerk — Authority: 542
  This certainly won’t sound original but 2010 is going to be all about leveraging social media in the local space (or leveraging local if you’re a social media site). And mobile. Mobile. Mobile.

• Why Isn’t AT&T the Buyer of Yelp?

  
  Screenwerk — Authority: 542
  Again, nothing has been confirmed yet but let’s assume that Google acquires Yelp. I’ve been talking to people all day about this question and the implications for both companies. A more interesting question to consider may be: Why didn’t AT&T (owner of YellowPages.com) buy Yelp? AT&T, with its large ...

  Screenwerk — Authority: 542
  I awoke this morning to discover that my car was broken into: driver’s side window smashed, glass everywhere. Called the police (worthless), called insurance (repair cost is below my deductible); so I wasted an hour or more with those guys. Now on to getting my window fixed . . . I was given a glass repair company ...

• Nielsen: YP in Top 10 for November

  
  Screenwerk — Authority: 542
  We may have an apples to pomegranates situation here but Nielsen is showing this search volume/share data for November: At number 10 is “Yellow Pages Search.” But what does this mean? I’m too lazy/busy this morning to pursue it directly with Nielsen. Is this an individual site (i.e., YellowPages.com) or ...

• This Was a Transitional Year

  
  Screenwerk — Authority: 542

• Speaking at Borrell in NY in Feb

  
  Screenwerk — Authority: 542
  Gordon Borrell asked me to moderate a session or two at their Local Interactive Advertising show coming up in February in New York. Looks like it will be very good and very focused on “monetization,” which will be quite interesting and different.  He’s got a lot of good speakers lined up. The dynamics, mix ...

  Screenwerk — Authority: 542
  A couple of years ago I did a project to spec out what the “next generation” directory product would look like.

  Screenwerk — Authority: 542
  Here’s a comment from David Mihm in response to an earlier post : “Think ServiceMagic vs. a local contractor bidding on “San Francisco contractors.” That’s why I think we’ve seen Google moving to take up SO much screen real estate with the 7-pack and Local Listing Ads.  They saw that their $$ was ...

  I was in a meeting today with some folks in Montreal and I was told that Pages Jaunes (France) saw approximately 44% of its revenue coming from online.
