ShareBloc Pivots To Be More Like Reddit For The Business World Instead Of Yelp And Quora

ShareBloc_-_A_community_for_professionalsShareBloc today launched as a Reddit-like link sharing community for professionals. Originally called VendorStack, the company launched in February as a peer review site that let users rate and review vendors. It was also similar to Quora as it helped the VendorStack community ask and answer questions about a vendor or its products.At the time, co-founder David Cheng said they also used Mechanical Turk to scrape vendor customer lists. The company triangulated the data from these different sources and analyzed it to provide additional services, such as analytics or market research reports. They also planned to offer premium tools that vendors can use to set up their own profiles on the site in similar fashion to what Yelp does with its member merchants.
