Here is the launch of another local search site -Tyloon. Their claim to fame is the ability to search local listings in Spanish and Chinese. Spanish I can understand but Chinese!! Why would someone in America want to search for businesses in Chinese ? I checked out the implementation of their search features and it is quite mediocre. They do not have additional content like some of the other new players (Local.com, truelocal.com ) and no mapping functionality as well like some of the other major players like Google, MSN and Yahoo. I tried putting in "Winchester VA" in the where box and it gave me zero results and if I just put in "Winchester", it have me results from at least 6 different states - not sure how useful that is for a local search functionality.
Couple of interesting articles on local search - 411 on local search and the role of IYPs in local search.
