Yokl’d.com is a "Best Of" local business ranking social platform

What Company Is Offering:
Yokl’d.com is a "Best Of" local business ranking social platform that is 100% compiled and commented on by users. The idea is simple - the more times a business gets "Yokl’d" (voted) the higher in the rankings it will be listed.

How It Works:

Share local knowledge with a social network of friends, family and business associates. Discover the best local businesses recommended and ranked by the user community. Benefit from trusted friend’s personal pages to see what they recommend
Never get lost -- detailed maps pinpoint each location. Add favorite local businesses to the site. Vote through a 1-click process for preferred local businesses. Build and maintain a portfolio of elite local businesses that can be shared with others. Post positive or negative comments about a business
Rank user comments based on usefulness and accuracy.

How Is It Different:
Local search sites like CitySearch and Yelp! provide user generated content for local businesses using a controversial five-star rating system. Users debate the use of the five-star rating because people within the general population have very different tastes. This ranking system provides no way to tell if a group of people ranking a business shares the same tastes as a specific user. While,Yokl’d provides a better solution for the discriminating consumer, business traveler, or weekend connoisseur.
