Poll: On What We SEO Types Want to call Google PlaceSearch?
Okay, so Google just “blended” their algo — moving away from a seperate Places (Maps) algo and their Web Results ones and have combined same.
And the official Google name that they’ve chosen to use is “Google PlaceSearch” but like many SEO types, I hate that name!

Oh, background. Info of course on this big change in Google and what they now show (as of Oct 27th) for Web Results can be found here. Google named this new blend it’s “Google Place Search” and while many of us have agreed with that term, our own Poll on same found that Mike Blumenthals’ own “Loco-Organic” was the choice of us SEO practitioners…but call it whatever you want, it’s here to stay, eh!
