Loladex.com - Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets

By now if you haven’t tried or at least heard about the behemoth that is Facebook, you must be in Tibet or living under a mossy stone. Facebook, the social network that could, keeps growing and now has another application to add to its roster. This one’s called Loladex. Loladex can be likened to a more intimate Yelp with recommendations from friends and friends of friends. So if you need to find the perfect pasta in town, or are looking for an indie movie theatre to get your Godard fix, Loladex can help. This search engine is based on the 16 million local business listings from Localeze as well as restaurant information from Open Table. Friends can rate each result with a thumbs or thumbs down. The more friends send in recommendations, the more results you’ll get. This is essentially social search at its best. Who better, than your friends for telling you what’s hot or not.

 
  In their own words  

“Trying to find the perfect spot for a first date? Need a good mechanic to check out that noisy rattle? When you're searching for a local business, what you really want is a thumbs up from someone you trust – Loladex helps you get recommendations from people you know and sources you trust.”

  Why it might be a killer  

Loladex harnesses the incredibly popular Facebook, and the power of friends. Once it gets popular it could be a great thing. When you’re new to town, or don’t get out much, friends are great things to have when you decide to go out.

  Some questions  

Will Loladex catch on? Will Loladex provide the results that users want? What’s its business model?
