Imagine what the search environment would be like if you could just use your finger to define a search area. Forget trying to remember which neighborhood is which, or knowing street names, or even recalling a particular restaurant name. Now Yahoo has developed an iPhone app that allows you to draw a search radius — using just your finger — to return results within the area. So you could draw a circle around your location, find all the restaurants near you, and pick one to go to with ease.
For now, the app returns restaurants and cafes only, but Yahoo says soon it will return local service businesses too. Can’t wait to see where this goes next.
