GoLocal.de starts up

25 Mar. 2008 | Author: AWo | german

As already reported on these pages, the makers of GoYellow also are venturing into the Web2.0 world. On March 10, 2008, the new ratings portal GoLocal.de was launched on the web and is available to all users under the motto “Find better together”…

GoLocal.deGoLocal.de in effect is a product of GoLocal GmbH & Co. K.G. that in turn is a daughter company of GoYellow Media AG, whose products include the online directory GoYellow.de.

The new ratings platform GoLocal.de is similar in many of its functions to the recommendation platform Qype. Using GoLocal.de, users can find businesses & services under “locations” – and the ratings of other users for a specific locations/undertakings.  The results are generated in a list and shown on a GoogleMap.  Particularly practical is the sort by alpha, distance or best rating function. Registered visitors can also add their opinions to generated listings, providing star ratings, adding photos or adding new ‘locations’. A route planner is not offered at present.

Along side the search for ‘locations’, GoLocal.de also offers an event search. Using this one can research events in the neighborhood and also add descriptions and comments.

In a press release, the company describes GoLocal.de also as a ”ratings community”.  This confuses somewhat, since registered users are unable to communicate with other users, contrary to what one understands today under community functionality.

The new service is still in the Beta-Phase, and will be expanded in the coming months, according to the press release.  As of mid June 2008, the full version is expected to go live, and plans also include the simultaneous launch of a mobile portal.
