Bing Local - List Your Business
Microsoft's new search engine www.Bing.com has local listings too. I haven't played with it yet but here's the URL to add your business.
https://ssl.bing.com/listings/ListingCenter.aspx
Bing.com is new but MSN and Live.com now default to bing so there is some traffic there. The results aren't half bad either.
Let me know how it goes

Three guys are in a car when it quits.
One guy is an electrical engineer, one guy is a fuel specialist, and the third is a computer programmer for Microsoft.
The electrical engineer gets out and checks the wires, etc. thinking its an electrical fault.
The fuel specialist removes the air cleaner to look at the fuel injection system, thinking its a fuel problem.
The computer programmer shuts all the windows in the car, opens them again, and tries to start the car!

There has to be someplace to see what they accept, I'm sure I sent jpeg photos.
I've been using a Mac lately but the pics are still jpeg.

I was wrong, it was Google that took my pictures, Bing will not, maybe its waiting for our pin number.
Mine says "please load correct file"?

The PIN numbers are sent to verify listing locations. In theory it keeps others from registering as you.
Google does the same.
