Mike Blumenthal has worked in the online local search world since 2001. Many of you know him from his blog, Understanding Google Local and the local search training organization he helped co-found, LocalU.org.
Most recently Mike co-founded GatherUp, a feedback platform that focuses on helping business owners put reviews to work for their business. He was so annoyed at Google for releasing Google Q&A in such an unfinished, business-unfriendly state that he has spent the last four months working on a Google Question & Answers Monitoring feature for GatherUp.
