Today,\u00a0Google\u2019s Street View is joining the party There have been links from business listings on\u00a0Google Maps directly to Street View The next step I\u2019m waiting for is to see Street view in a mobile augmented reality app, so that you can just point your phone camera at a building and see the businesses listed inside. That would be\u00a0so Tonchidot<\/a> of Google. Our augmented reality future awaits.<\/p>\n Last week, the newly renamed\u00a0Google Places added a ton of features to help local businesses create a directory page right on Google.

<\/a> by showing links to local business listings right in Street View. As you turn around in Street View, names of local businesses and other \u201cGoogle Places\u201d will show up overlayed on top of buildings. As you hover over those names, a small pop-up window shows some of the listing details such as business name, phone number, and ratings.<\/p>\n<\/a> for almost a year, but now those business listings appear right within Street View itself. Google clearly\u00a0wants to own local<\/a> and is sprinkling these listings everywhere it can.<\/p>\n(from techcrunch<\/a>)<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
