Search Site Loku Leverages Big Data To Make Local Search Simpler

Screen Shot 2011-10-25 at 5.22.47 AMLocal search site Loku launches in public beta today, with the aim of helping people quickly find out more about the environs around them -- using the vast repository of location-based information available.Instead of making the user pour through crowdsourced information, Loku uses natural language search to serve up the most relevant articles in a given area through its "Know Local" function, allowing people to look for relevant media around the topics of "Good Eats,""Culture," etc. It's "Go Local" function lets people use a slider to sift through a sentiment rank of the places around them.
