Local Search in India with AskLaila

Local Search in India with AskLailaLocal search needs a lot of help, and it's only begun its long journey to power local searchers to find their destinations. There is Google Local, Ask Local, Yelp, and Yellow Pages. Now India joins the game with a new social search platform called AskLaila.

The name might not be striking for residents, but the startup is currently focusing on dishing out local searches for Bangalore citizens, covering reviews, local service ratings, shopping destinations, restaurants, events and lifestyle results. AskLaila plans to get the service out to another 22 cities in India, and has a financial backing to get the job done in the next little while.

What service do DLS readers use for effective local search results?

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
