WiFi in Ft. Collins
I've discovered a cool, new trick for finding places online. I've known about both Google Local and Yahoo! Local, and I've know about Google Maps.
But there's a cool feature on Google Maps that I use all the time now. If you go there, you can not only get a map or directions (which are typically really good), you can also do a local search from there and it'll place all the results on the map.
Now, I know Local Google uses the map feature also, but it's slightly different.
For instance, I'm at a local coffee shop with wireless because I looked it up in Google Maps. I have found out though that it's not fully updated, but it's a start.
