Search Site Loku Leverages Big Data To Make Local Search Simpler
Local 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.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/uNG6BDvwpUc/
