May 2010 Archives

Long ago, we released ways to see which businesses are open and have slowly exposed these features to our users. With our site redesign, we have given it more prominence.

Now, we have exposed the ability to restrict your searches to businesses that are open during your search on our mobile site.
As an example, if you are out and hungry at 10 pm, you don't want to search for restaurants around you...instead, you'd prefer restaurants that are currently open around you.

If you're a business owner or a site user, please make sure to check the hours of operation and submit them or correct them so that we can get the most accurate results!

Three years ago when we launched YellowBot we built it with a clean very simple design. It's served us well, but as we're growing in users, verified businesses and features it's been time to update the user experience.

Some weeks ago we updated weblocal.ca with an all new design. Today we're happy to have released the all new YellowBot site, too. (With iPad and Android support for playing videos).

We hope you like it and have patience with us over the next few weeks as we fix any chips in the paint that appeared during the remodeling!

We have a busy roadmap ahead of us in adding new features on the new site over the summer.
