From where I`m sitting Google is giving sites multiple places for each of the top sites. Somethings going on. Graham? Garry?

The triple listing has been there a while but until now I had only seen it on long tail searches.

The Google Places follows a commitment to mix at least 20% of local results into the organic searches. They have been saying that they will give greater weight to local search so I guess this is it.

I would imagine that they will start to give greater emphasis to those sites that are built for mobiles as well. We'll have to build a mobile element into our sites.

May be a really good time to do absolutely nothing on the SEO side (until it settles down).

A real address being what exactly? I already have different 3 clever clogs hitting my area with
(1) a domestic address that 'probably' a mate allows to be used for advertising reasons
(2) a vertual office in the town centre for the same reason as above
(3) an address that's actually in the hospital. How does that work???
