"Local Matters" Offers Local Guide Sites

Just about a year ago I noted in my review of our Location Intelligence Conference 2007 that LocalMatter's LocalGuides.com would launch "soon." Well it did. It was renamed Guidespot, and entered beta about three weeks ago. (I know timeframes are slippy!)

What is it? "a user-friendly multi-media publishing platform for producing user-generated local guides." Yes it has maps, but they are not the main focus. The main focus is someone in the know guiding you in a topic or location. Warms my heart - sounds a lot like when I was an editor (guide?) at TenLinks.

Update: Original headline, "Local Matter Betas Guidespot" was laughed at, quite appropriately. Hence I cleaned it up.
