WHObyYOU Relaunch (Win an iPad)

We've (David, Steve and Fed of CASE<http://case-inc.com/us>) been busy the last few months putting the finishing touches on the relaunch of our local search and recommendation service, WHObyYOU. Check it out: http://www.whobyyou.com

You can use WHObyYOU to find the best local businesses and service providers recommended by YOUR friends, colleagues and favorite local experts. Currently we have a few million businesses listed in New York, New Jersey and Miami, Florida (where we are based and our investors are located... we'll be adding more cities soon). Recommend things like model making supplier and 3d printers, or even who you used on that project to make you those window frames that you really liked, your structural engineer or steel supplier... Here are some examples:

• Searches
  • "3d printing worldwide"
    • http://bit.ly/a4hVTt
  • "3d printing" near the New York area
    • http://bit.ly/aB4tJY
  • "digital fabrication" near the New York area
    • http://bit.ly/b5o0JL
  • "digital fabrication" worldwide
    • http://bit.ly/9KecGn
  • "metal fabrication" near the New York area
    • http://bit.ly/dgHLbJ
  • "curtain wall consultant" near the New York area
    • http://bit.ly/anHjvE
  • "structural engineer" near the New York area
    • http://bit.ly/auc6MH

We know these are VERY New York based and that is because that's where we are based, but the idea is that this can become the go to place to find the services you need every day in YOUR area, but based on people whose opinion you respect.  Here are our profiles as an example:

• People
  • David Fano, Partner CASE Design, Inc
    • http://www.whobyyou.com/u/david

  • Federico Negro, Partner CASE Design, Inc

Some of the features on the new site we're really excited about include:

• Complete redesign of the look and feel. You will be able to make recommendations, requests and agrees more quickly and from more places.
• Accurate and powerful local search. With "Social Filters" you can dynamically filter your search results based on the criteria that matter to you. Try this one on for size: http://wby.im/ap5eBl
• Use Lists to organize your recommendations and share them with others, like this: http://wby.im/cHWvXP
• Bookmarks top save local services that you want to try later.
• Connect with Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare. You can recommend any businesses you've checked-in to on Foursquare on WHObyYOU.
•  

All that said, we are still in beta, so there will be bugs, glitches and missing functionality, which is the nature of this process. That's why we need you to use the site, break the site, tell us what is working, and more importantly, not working. You can click the Feedback on the right of any page, or email us at: feedback@whobyyou.com. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone that you feel would like to share their recommendations. Thanks again for all of your support and good luck,
