I also like the idea and look, but have you thought about a different launch approach? When your content needs to be geographically dense to be useful, makes sense to limit your launch. For a non-FB example, you can look at companies like Uber, or even today's YourMechanic launch. Yes those are both service based, but it seems like you require a lot of users in one location to be truly useful just like them.

On a similar note, I put in Madison, selected car repair, and my search didn't return any results. Just kept on loading--not sure if this is due to traffic or just no results available.

Keep it up though! I can see real potential in this, I think you just need to keep tweaking to get there. I have faith :)

Thanks a lot. Yes, we have a plan of pushing it locally first (because otherwise it was like we are trying to swallow a watermelon). We will hopefully start with it in October :-)
