I believe they are a subset not unlike the backlinks shown with the link: command. There does also seem to be some analysis of the quality of any particular citation (likely using one of Google's trust analysis methods), but I believe most any citation can help (especially if you have a good base of quality citations). Dan and Daryl,

I have created several google local accounts and have submitted each one to 15+ directories, but for some reason, when I look under the google local profile, none of the directories come up as a citation. Could you explain why? I second this and would like to know how....
