One aspect that I found interesting is that the contextual ads that appear in the sidebar when you search for businesses are provided by Overture.

Looks like it’s already live. Very impressed! An intriguing feature is the “Locate Me” function. You can do it by IP (not very precise) or by Wi-Fi access points. I’d be curious if anyone can comment on how well it works using the latter method.
