Amazon.com's A9 subsidiary plans to offer a local search service that can display photos of neighborhood businesses - a total of 20 million building photos in 10 major United States cities (including New York, of course). Before launching the new service, A9 sent out an SUV equipped with a digital video camera to Manhattan, where "a driver spent more than a week cruising down streets, capturing images and cataloging the location of each business using a global positioning system receiver." A9 calls the process "bringing the Yellow Pages to life."
