Yahoo Local Search has changed.. or just copied Google AGAIN

In a recent tumbler post Yahoo has released their new local search results. As a lover of Google Places and Google+, I have to give them credit. Although their results are getting a lot of heat for copying Google, again, I do like the layout. Why? I honestly think that people that have switched to Google from Yahoo, just because of search results, are now going to switch back. Not all people are seeing the results so here is an example of what the future holds in the chess game of search.


Your move Google? That was done years ago by Google offering virtual business tours know as "Google Maps Business Photos". This allows a 'street view' style interactive tour of the business. Super cool, and it shows in the search results next to the business photos. Wanna see? Click on the 'see inside' link for the Kidspace Children's Museum, Pasadena, California, United States

I just hope this doesn't end in an ugly lawsuit that no one cares about.
