Editor's Notes

  1. Yelp is a passive form of local social search. Notvery interactive, contains reviews that are often out-of-date and inaccurate. Yelp also tends to be used for business reviews and recommendations. Sooligan opens up the raves and rants to any topic in that city, not just businesses. Allows users to see tweets made by locals in their current city, however, they are not structured in any way besides being made locally. Sooligan structures every user posting as a RANT or RAVE, making it easier to find specific sentiments about local businesses, issues, events, and more. Sooligan also provides a direct localized Q&A platform. Requires people to identify themselves as experts, which is constantly changing so not a stable variable. Not very interactive, user has to seek information to receive information.LocalMind is similar to Sooligan’s instant Q&A but it does not have an interactive social experience like the Rants and Raves. Users on LocalMind tend to be continuously asking questions, searching for answers, and looking forreviews, not leaving them. NextDoor’s purpose is similar to Sooligan in that it is a platform for locals to communicate with each other. However, NextDoor is limited in that it is only for neighborhoods, and a user must be a verified resident of a certain neighborhood to participate. It is also only for neighborhood services.
