I do not often talk about applications but this Facebook application is fun and well-done. Moreover, Praize’n’raze is produced by a talented team from Montreal.
The offices of Praized Media are on the same building than my company. I know the three owners because I met them at YulBiz and we hang in the small IT events around Montreal.
The CEO of Praized Media is no stranger to the blogosphere. I am talking about Harry Wakefield of MoCoLoco.com. It is a small world!
Before launching their main product, Praized Media created a Facebook application. Praize’n’raze was published a few days ago. But I must warn you that Praize’n’raze is quite addictive.
How does it work?
The principle is simple: you give a thumb up (praize) or a thumb down (raze) to local merchants. You can also add comments and bookmark your most loved stores.
Partnerships with Yellowbook, Yellow Pages Group Co and Localeze in the US mean that you have access to 17 million searchable, North American business listings. So you can pass hours ranking your favorite stores.
If you are on Facebook, give a try to Praize’n’raze.
Reminder
I am taking this opportunity to remind you about Status Competition. My husband and I produced Status Competition on Facebook as a quick and easy way to connect with your friends.
