LOCQL. It’s similar to Quora or other Q+A user-generated sites. Right now, it looks like the site could benefit from some more legitmate users but the intent for a location-based Q+A social network is positive.

Questions based around given cities can help users find local eateries, bars, attractions and other things to do while traveling or even if you just want a fresh perspective on your own town.

If you’re thinking the site would be a good platform for marketing your small business, take precautions – like any link-building or blog commenting strategy, it’s best to have a real interest in the subject matter you’re looking at. You should offer a real solution for people’s needs. You’ll want to provide helpful tips and insight rather than just throwing your name into the mix without being respectful of the platform and its users, meaning that you want to build trust and establish credibility as a community member rather than as a name dropper or free advertiser.

Here’s a link to another post that explains how it works. Here’s a link to LOCQL itself.
