ZipLocal is a new, consolidated “Web 2.0″ local search destination growing out of a number of earlier local search sites including Zip411.net and redToronto.com, among them. Here’s an example results page for “Sushi , Toronto.” The site has many Ajax features and offers send to mobile, as well as the capacity to email listed businesses. It is also using technology from Urban Mapping to improve search results.
