'LCB', thats the name of Google's new mobile feature which provides one-touch search for local businesses,bars,restaurants etc. Your location, once entered is stored, and any future access to LCB will start from that location. Theres also option to Map your destination with driving directions.
So what does LCB means ? i've seen many interpretations, Local Category Browse, Local Catering Business, Local Business, Location-Based, you can take your guess. The service is still under development because its still not allowed in the robots.txt (http://www.google.com/robots.txt) file.
To try it out, I looked for a night-club in my area, and I got a fashion studio in the results, while I don't mind partying with hot models, it isn't a great search result. You can try it out here (http://www.google.com/m/lcb). Hopefully, you will get the correct night-club.;)
