Local Discovery is Broken

How three design flaws with current LBS platforms are hindering the development of a great tool for local discovery.

Not sure I'd like to work at a company that requires their interface designers to be lickable. I'm sporting a playoff beard at the moment and don't even find myself lickable, never mind going to work every day worried that someone feels the same way.

Also, why hypothesize problems without providing an inkling of the solution? Is urbantag to be a socially graceful, incentivized LBS where users can control their data? I'll hold back until they clear that up.

Thanks for the thoughts - We'll share more about our solutions as we approach our launch.

Also, Playoff Beards rock; perhaps the word lickable is a bit over the top...

Keep us posted. I'm always interested to see what people are doing in LBS besides selling out.
