Heads up, another cool, local search utility has hit the web - enter OutAlot.
This clever Google map mashup is currently only providing information in New York (hopefully more places will be added soon). Use the app to search and locate food, movies, bars in the big apple. To test it I search for Food, then I was provided a lengthy list of food types (Indian, Italian, Dim sum etc...). I enter Indian and a lengthy list of relevant hits are displayed in a table and on the map. Click the icon and get more details of the selection. Users are invited to join so they can add places, comments, Bookmark favorite places, and add reviews... very nice. Kudos to the team for producing a very professional local search/mashup application.
FYI, Outalot is also available via most popular mobile devices (even iPhone, Nokia smartphones, etc...) simply point your mobile browser to outalot.com or wap.outalot.com. This cool local search utility comes to us from Seed Wireless, a startup company founded in 2007 and based in Brooklyn, NY.
