Zenbu.com.nz - New Zealand's Local Search Engine

If you are in New Zealand and you need to find the closest video store or Chinese Delivery or take out, log onto to Zenbu.com and use its special "Find Nearest" search feature where you can type in the town or zip code that you are in and what place you are looking for and it will spit out the results for you quickly.

Zenbu operates a bit like Wikipedia in the sense that it is open source and anyone can log in and edit pages and contibute information to the search engine. The word Zenbu was chosen as the name of the site because Zenbu is the Japanese word for everything, and everything in New Zealand can be found on the site, and they are hoping that it can soon be used as a noun and a verb in the sense that google was incorporated into the English language. For instance, the other day I was looking for a good Armenian restaurant nearby, so I "zenbu'd" the nearest one.
