Yourlocal.com Expands Its Local Reviews, Events, and Place Listings

New York, NY, November 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Yourlocal is a new local event listings resource and social network for people looking for things to do, places to go and people to meet. After launching in public beta in May, Yourlocal has now released local listings, event dates and reviews for New York and Boise with Boston, Santa Cruz, and Miami coming soon. Listings for each city are accessible through www.yourlocal.com.

Yourlocal provides detailed information and event listings that include:
• Up-to-date local listings and user-generated reviews of local events and places, including concert listings, local reviews, tour dates, restaurant ratings, event dates, local events art galleries, jazz clubs and more
• Customized event and place suggestions, generated by a recommendation engine that gets smarter over time
• An interactive calendar application that helps users keep track of events and places they and their friends plan to check out
• A social network that allows users to see what their friends and neighbors are doing in their city.

“The reason that Yourlocal exists is to give users the ability to interact with reliable listings and reviews while we provide them with an intelligent recommendation engine and a powerful social network,” says Scott Stedman, CEO and co-founder of Yourlocal.com. “Yourlocal will be the first resource to allow that.”
