Thanks very much. Local searches still suck. Getting US SERP's from google is a must. But I think only a total newb would not be in the know. Wish I could attend something like that.

Great coverage of the conference mate. And thanks for the detail on the Local Search Roundtable – I was in the main room at the time and missed that one.

Andrew – Gord Hotchkiss gave us some amazing insights into Searcher behaviour. Fascinating stuff.

One minor point though: "Google News - you need to be a big name to get accepted as a source." Nope, not at all.
