Google Places Update 10/28/2010
Google Places is coming into its own with the just-introduced Place Search functionality that finally adds local search to Google's growing database of places -- more than 50 million locations, to be exact.
Place Search is built into the standard Googlesearch experience, so a search for something like "Chicago museums" or "vegan restaurants" will return local Place Page listings that match those queries.
Listings now group all relevant links, and also include informational text snippets and highlight the number of reviews -- on Google, Yelp and elsewhere -- for each Place.
