Bing’s Hyperlocal Tool is Now Official

by Matt on Jan 20, 2010 in Industry

Quick note to mention that Local Lens, the hyperlocal content layer on Bing Maps, is now officially rolling out of beta to all users, per this Bing blog post.

You may recall my earlier post when Local Lens was previewed at a conference in December. It still only covers 10 major US cities, but here’s hoping they expand that.

Update: Chris Pendleton is the Bing team member who wrote the blog post I linked to in the first paragraph above. I asked Chris via Twitter if there are plans to expand to more cities. His reply:

Local Lens will continue to grow with more and more data for more and more cities. No priority list at this point, tho.

Now you we all know.
