Facebook Sends Window Decals to Local Businesses

via mashable.com

"Businesses that promote their Page off-Facebook tend to see a 20% or greater increase in connections.”

This first step toward serving local businesses is an extremely smart maneuver very much like Google’s Place Pages offering. Also, the day that Facebook correlates your physical location in the real world with their local business Pages does not seem too far off.

If Yelp, Google (Google), Fousquare and Facebook all get their way, local business windows will be covered in window decals. Realistically, one decal will prevail and we tend to think Facebook’s more than 400 million userbase and the value of an instant Fan will make Facebook’s offering especially appealing to local business owners.

Nice feature in GMail I ain't seen before:

I was emailling a pal earlier, and intended to attach a document.

As you can see I said as much in the e.

At the last minute I decided not to attach a document. but put a link to doc in email instead.

Clever old Google saw I'd used word attached but hadn't actually attached anything then flagged up a warning pop-up.

Smart.
