PremierGuide

PremierGuide has added social networking to its local and specialty search technology, in a move aimed at adding value to searches for local businesses.

PremierGuide 4.0, which is ASP software, allows searchers to review local businesses and join together in "friend-of-a-friend" networks. This allows users to filter search results based on whether they're recommended -- either by strangers or by friends.

Mountain View, Calif.-based PremierGuide, like competitors Interchange and Planet Discover, provides its clients with the technology to get into local or vertical search. Potential clients include yellow pages players or local newspapers, companies that traditionally have an established advertising client base of local businesses.. PremierGuide’s social search features may be previewed at www.loqal.com, the company’s demonstration site for the San Francisco Bay Area.
