We are looking for a extremely talented front-end web developer to join a highly specialized team. Must have god-like skills in CSS and JavaScript, and be thoroughly fluent in YUI CSS, OOCSS, Template Toolkit and jQuery.

To apply please send your resume and links to your code samples / portfolio to j...@solfo.com. Text, html or pdf please - no word documents. Links to your github, CPAN or Linkedin pages are also welcome.

Recently we introduced some features in our backend tools that caused some confirmation and password reset mails not to be sent out in a timely manner.   Oops!   We fixed the bug today and just pushed the updates out to the servers.

We moved the weblog from Blogger to be on Movable Type.  Excuse the dust while we everything here in place again.  This will make it easier for us to keep you up to date on all the new features we're launching.

A few days ago, we launched a new feature that allows business owners to claim their business listing(s) using phone, mail, or manual verifications. Once a merchant verifies they are the business owner, they will be given tools to:

• edit all of their contact information
• edit all of their business attributes (such as hours of operation & payment methods accepted)

Other tools have been prepared but not yet released onto the site. These tools include:

• replying to reviews
• providing different departmental or additional phone numbers
• providing your slogan & a message to consumers
• uploading pictures and videos that will be marked as "from the merchant"
• uploading documents such as menus, price lists, etc.

We are currently soliciting feedback from our merchants asking about their thoughts on these features before releasing them. So, what are you waiting for? If you're a merchant, go verify your business listing then sound off and let us know! To verify your listing, find your business details page and look for the "Are you the business owner?" link. Everything from there is as easy as 1-2-3. ;-)

A couple of weeks ago, we launched a way for business owners and consumers to upload videos associated with a business. In that short period of time, we've seen all kinds of videos uploaded. YellowBot users uploaded infomercials, commercials, testimonials, appeals to consumers, slide shows, creatives, on-location videos such as guitar players at bars & performances at the county fair, demostrations, and videos of how they build a 2 pound sandwich as big as your head...
