TrustedPlaces.com - Find What To Do In Your City

TrustedPlaces is a great way to discover all the best places in a city and your area to go out, eat, drink, party, and soak up some culture or anything else you feel like. The difference with other sites is that all the content on TrustedPlaces has been provided and reviewed by real people.

You can recommend places, share them with your friends and receive personalized recommendations tailored individually to you. In this site you will find recommendations you can trust made by real people who share your tastes as well as trade your recommendations and make new friends in the process. TrustedPlaces is a great place to connect and meet like-minded people.

Combining the power of social networking with local search can provide a very powerful combination that would be a threat to traditional directory and listing services.

Can TrustedPlaces scale the proposition internationally? How will the traditional players react to this competition?

"With reviews from over 450 cities in 40 countries, TrustedPlaces allows people to discover and share online all the latest information on where to go out, via reviews and recommendations, from the TrustedPlaces community of passionate and engaged individual reviewers. With unique content continuously refreshed by its members, TrustedPlaces aims to become the UK's largest online resource for independent reviews for lifestyle locations. In July The Guardian listed the company as one of the 'Top 10 dotcoms to watch' recognising the growth and potential of the location-focused social network. Founded in 2006 by Sokratis Papafloratos and Walid Al Saqqaf in London, UK, the beta site launched in February 2007 when TrustedPlaces also secured Â£500k funding from HOWZAT Media."
