The Local Business Center has been renamed to Google Places to better connect people who use Place pages with the tools that enable business owners to manage their presence on Google. With this launch, we want to collect your feedback and feature request for Google Places.

The team has launched a Product Ideas page to collect what you have to say. For the next month, you can submit your ideas and vote on the Google Places ideas that are most important to you. The more feedback we get the better, so please take a moment to check it out here.

Remember, the series is only open for a month. So head over and submit your feedback, and keep checking in to see what others have to say.

Our first round Product Ideas for Google Buzz was a great success. We received a lot of feedback, and the team has already made improvements on collapsing comments and better inbox controls. More improvements are in the works, and we'd like to know more.

Since Buzz is changing, you may have seen that we've opened up a new topic in the Product Ideas for Buzz series that will be open for the entire month of April. We'll still be paying attention to the ideas you submitted in March, but will also make room for new ideas for April as well.

Head on over to Product Ideas for Buzz to submit your ideas and vote on the ideas of others, and don't forget to follow the Google Buzz Team on Buzz for updates on your ideas.
