Google Places: Bye-Bye Google LBC

Now here’s an interesting development, Google Local Business Center has undergone a bit of a re-branding, now marketing itself as “Google Places”. I’ve gotta say, the name definitely rolls off the tongue a lot better. It would be interesting to see if this re-branding gives away any hints of another possible shift in the local search algorithm…

Anyway, I really enjoyed the press release video. It’s the classic Google schmoozing but I think It markets the new brand well. What do you think? Check it out here:
