MSN Can’t Even Find Microsoft: Why Local Search Still Sucks!

1. Looking for the number for Microsoft’s Mountain View office

2. Searched “microsoft mountain view ca” in Google.  They had the wrong number.

3. Searched “microsoft mountain view ca” in Yahoo.  They had the wrong number.

4. Searched “microsoft mountain view ca” in maps.live.com (MSN).  They had the wrong number!

5. Went to Microsoft.com, entered “mountain view, ca” in the search box and clicked on the first result which resulted in a redirect era (the page 302’s to itself – DOH!)

6. Actually picked up a phone, experienced the dial tone audio prompt and called Comcast 411.  They had the number.
