Just came through the newsticker here in Switzerland.
Google akquired Endoxon.com's Geo, Mapping and Mobile divisions.

Endoxon is responsible for sites like goyellow.de, local.ch and map.search.ch

Great news for us Europeans then ;) Live Local has always been better than GMaps in the UK... until now :D

Just wondering what will happen to goyellow.de, local.ch and map.search.ch since they are all kind of competitors to Google Maps / Local...?

Whats your point of view?
I guess they (Google) might just pull the plug (deliver no more maps to them) – and all of a sudden 3 competitors are gone!
