Bellevue-based Infospace has rolled out its own, local search site, as the local search market has begun to heat up. InfoSpace said that its new local.infospace.com site provides neighborhood business listings, white pages, event information, maps, and directions. The new site includes movie and event listings, connectivity to mobile phones, and a search product it is launching with Sprint Nextel. Infospace said that the service is currently in beta.
