If you love going to restaurants and you like to find new ones on the internet, have a look at Palore.com The site displays listings complete with customer ratings from different sites on the Web in one place. Palore is a browser add-on that aggregates business reviews from a variety of Web sites and displays them next to Google and Yahoo"s local search results in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Currently Palore has data for some 2.4 million businesses in big cities and it uses customer reviews from Zagat, OpenRatings, CoffeeList, WineSpectator, Judy"s Book, as well as menus from MenuPages. In addition, the site draws in ratings from Google and Yahoo Local on the map. However, Palore´s pop ups don"t display the reviews that Google and Yahoo"s pop-ups show. Eventually the site aims to show more than just restaurants; it should be expanding to show other things in the service industry.
“At Palore, we help people choose the best local businesses in their area (e.g. the best restaurant, plumber, or dentist). We do this by showing users reviews and recommendations from the people they trust. The reviews appear as an additional layer of information presented on top of any website the user goes to. We think of it as a Contextual RSS system that collects the right information but presents it only when the user needs it.
Palore is easy-to-use, fairly complete and bug-free, free of cost and free of ads, and it downloads quickly. It provides a useful service, and people will love how they can peruse all the online restaurant listings and reviews in one place.
Are people going to want to download a service like this, or would they just prefer to continue using sites that don´t require downloads? After all, there are so many things out there to download these days, and our computers can´t handle them all.
