2012 and we are all connected via mobile devices

Over the next four years, the world’s major telecommunications groups will deploy 4G wireless broadband services. For lack of a better term, this will be the introduction of the mobile internet. The new 3G iPhone and many sub note book computers like the eeePC portent this future.

The new technologies that provide the springboard for the mobile internet include the 4G standard, WiMax, and LTE , which is the 3GPP technology favoured by most of the world’s largest incumbent telco operators.

What this means for www.UK-Local-Search.co.uk is that we may not ever have to design for the various mobile devices as the ability to “surf” the internet with a traditional web browser – may be an adequate user expereince.

So far, WiMax seems to be leading the race, with real products coming on to the market and big deployments proceeding.

The main reasons cited by respondents for deploying mobile enterprise applications were improved employee productivity and increased employee availability.

High speed mobile broadband will allow businesses to access many of their existing enterprise applications without the need to re-write them for slower networks.

Do you know the business around your home or business in the UK?

monteh — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:38:22 +0000

New to your neighborhood? Haven’t had a chance to get out recently? It is often useful to familiarise yourself with what businesses are available in your local neighborhood. With the high cost of petrol and the increasing traffic jams, knowing what can be provided locally really helps. This will save you time and money!

We have recently added this feature to UK Local Search. Just go to the UK local search directory page. Select view all locations and select your region and then suburb. The system will then return a complete list of all businesses in your local area. Each category shown will have a listing. No empty categories will be presented.

You now know what is available in your local area. This is very useful and we would like to thank all the users of UK Local Search who suggested this addition.

All the best from the UK Local Search development team.

The difference between Google Maps and UK Local Search

monteh — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 02:02:33 +0000

Having completed another all day training session with Google AdWords team from Sydney Australia it is clear that Local Search is growing in user acceptance. Google does not use the term “Local Search” but calls their product/service Google Maps. Google Maps is a very serious and useful tool but often people perform a local search NOT in Google maps but in the general or “universal” search of Google. Our UK Local Search Directory works because many of our pages are indexed and listed in the organic results. What this means for your business is that your business gets found in the local search results of Google’s organic search. You should still be in Google Maps, but why not both since they are free.

Why Local Search

monteh — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 01:51:03 +0000

It was only a few years ago that “search” replaced email as the major reason people cited for using the Internet. Now, Local Search is out growing general search. This is a result of more and more people starting to use the Internet to find local businesses. These can be restaurants, retailers, professional service providers and trade people. Our “always on” lives are seeing us use the Internet for more local activities. Our WIKI driven Local Search and Business diectory, including Google Maps, is a great place to start and promote your business.
