A new website just launched to help bloggers and social networks become equipped with local directories directly related to the users of the site. Praized is the web software that is powered by a central hub and Facebook application where all votes and comments from Praize users are aggregated. For example, MoCo Loco, a modern and contemporary design blog, uses Praized for users to rate their favorite places, tag them and to connect with friends who share the same tribal community. Any blogger or publisher can download free plugins for Movabletype and Wordpress to include Praized in his or her website as well, and they can furthermore keep all of the ad revenue generated on their Praized page. The Praized platform comes pre-loaded with over 17 million US and Canadian local merchant listings complete with contact information and maps. Social features are also included like friends, favorites, voting, sharing, tagging and commenting. Together, users and publishers can organize local conversations for free.
