More PC-to-mobile goodness (this time in Local Search)

Starting today you can send search results from local search on the PC to your mobile device with just a couple of clicks. After you enter your mobile phone number, you’ll get an SMS with the address and phone number of the location that you found on the PC. The SMS will also contain a link to a page showing a map with the marked location, its address and an option to get driving directions.

 

Check it out from http://search.msn.com/local

 

Here's what you'll see on the PC:

 

 

Here's the SMS:

 

 

And here's the mobile web page with the address, map and driving directions (which you'll see after you scroll down):

 

 

PS. We’re still in the middle of deployment so not all servers have the “Send to mobile†link. If you don’t see the link on the PC local search results page you may need to refresh the page several times to hit an updated server.

Yes - it works only in the US for now, but we're looking into extending it to other markets

Mike, this absolutely kicks butt! I love it.
 
Btw, I especially love the feature where i do a live local search on my smartphone, then I can save the contact direct to my address book. This is the e2e integration i love to see. Keep up the good work.
