I've said forever that Google would deliberately put directories out of business once they started doing Local Places, and Panda was the first instance of that actually happening as local sites moved up the SERPs and the very directories Google initially used to gather local information simultaneously slid down the ranks.

I really don't see this Mocality flap as Google doing much different except it was probably a hand job vs automation, but the end result is the same IMO, so no sympathy here until Google lets off the pressure for the rest of us as well which obviously won't happen.
