I’m always on the lookout for new places to go in the city where I live. Just like everyone else, I have my personal set of businesses that I visit whenever I need to grab a bite to eat, do some shopping, and so on. While what I’m familiar with has been good to me, I know that there are plenty of other options out there, and if I only knew about them, then I’d probably be interested in checking them out. When it comes time to discover new places to go, it’s usually always a good idea to listen to what other locals have to say, and Yokl’d will provide you with that information.
This site is yet another Digg clone, but it focuses on local businesses. Just enter the location that you’re interested in and see if any businesses are available for you to learn more about. The community submits the businesses, and they then vote on them. The businesses with the most votes are obviously preferred by the users, but you can also get more details about a particular business by looking at the comments. Are they positive or negative? All of this information combined will help you to figure out which local businesses are worth your time and money.
