Rather than being able to simply review, our users are able to connect with friends, maintain a profile, and see the reviews that their friends have written. Furthermore we have adopted a number of high technologies such as OpenID and microformats, and have already integrated our service into the Facebook platform. As for our reviews, well, we only launched 4 days ago, and our staff seem to have caught a reviewing bug.

Having had a good rootle around the welovelocal.com, it would also appear to be populated pretty much entirely by their own staff, which suggests that this more of beta site than a live one. welovelocal.com looks like an interesting idea, although it does seem to mimicking the already established touchlocal.com, which has been around for a couple of years, and has already overtaken Thomson as the number two player in traffic terms to Yell.com.
