What is google.public.labs.location?
Google.public.labs.location is an unmoderated forum for discussion
about the Google Labs search by location demo. This group is currently
available only through Google Groups. Any individual with a question
or comment about using the Google Labs search by location demo may
post here.
The Google Labs search by location demo is an experimental system that
enables users to restrict a search to a particular geographic area.
When Google crawls the web, it detects geographic information on web
pages. From this information, Google determines the corresponding
physical location and returns results that match the geographic range
you specify (e.g., "near Jacksonville, Florida"). For more
information visit http://labs.google.com/help/FAQ_location.html
The Google Labs search by location demo is available on
labs.google.com, Google's technology playground. For more information,
please see http://labs.google.com
