by Miriam Ellis When Matt McGee drew attention to Google’s Lat/Long blog post 1000 Is The New 10 , a beehive buzz of conversation went up in the Local sphere. The 10-pack still exists, but do a search for something like Chinese Food San Francisco and look at what you get now: Attack Of The Pepperonis! All those little red dots (don’t they make Maps look like a pepperoni pizza?) can be clicked and the ability to find local businesses has just been increased almost exponentially. In some ways, this has leveled the favoritism and competition of the older 10-pack rankings, though the 10-pack continues to exist side-by-side with the map and in Google’s Universal results. In essence, all businesses are being given equal exposure.
