Insiderpages - user generated yellow pages

Filed in archive Technology on February 24, 2005

Paul Allen writes about start-up Insider Pages:


"Today I discovered a new Idealab company called Insiderpagesthat is focused on the local yellow pages market. All the local
listings are created by users. "The yellow pages written by friends",
it says. Launched in November, the site has a 1 week Alexa ranking of 50,000, which is excellent for such a new site."


There is no doubt - sites with user generated content thrive on a community of independent authors and provide a lot of content for close to zero cost. However the tricky thing is to reach a critical mass initially and provide good content quality over time. epinions.com have found it hard to maintain content quality over time and provide fresh unbiased content on a large scale.


My first tests with Insider Pages were impressive. Let's see how it develops - could be great...
