Gaming Google Maps

Now why didn't I think of this?

I just typed the name of a local restaurant into Google maps, to get the address (going to meet friend's for dinner), and I noticed a funny thing...

A half dozen other restaurants in the area, had included the name of that restaurant in their web page information, with lines like "Only half a kilometer from Restaurant X" or "Just down the block from Restaurant X."

As a result, they all came up in the map search with a nice little balloon above their location.

Sweet!

I know, I mostly out of the game lately, and kinda clueless, but has anyone else been seeing this lately?

This has been a well known "bug" in the product for a while...it's a fairly simple workaround to get your location noticed...not than anyone we know uses this silly mappy thing...but still!
