There are many sources to obtain local business information, but none of the existing solutions meet the needs in the marketplace: The Yellow Pages only provides alphabetical lists or listings differentiated by the size of an advertisement. Therefore, the only way for a user to make a distinction is through the amount of money spent by a particular company. This does not assist in discriminating good experiences from bad. Professional newspapers and magazine critics have unique tastes and biases that sometimes significantly differ from a customer’s point of view. Search engine results simply provide electronic Yellow Pages or paid placement ads. In short, Yokl’d provides a better solution for the discriminating consumer, business traveler, or weekend connoisseur.

There’re more and more of these sites popping up each day, will they be able to grab a significant portion of this market?
