Let's clarify a bit...Matthias, thanks for the post! Let's clarify a bit.<br /><br />Your last observation is good, Qype started focused and is expanding on this and Tagcrumbs is designed as a generic platform first. Of course, our marketing over the next time will be more specific, too. Supporting vertical communities like diving or photography.<br /><br />What does the thematic focus mean for Qype? Reviews are descriptions, maybe with a rating, mobile reviews are similar but shorter. But you review a 'object' which can be pretty much everything. Really? A good parking spot, a funny sign at a building, a camp site in the middle of a national park? Sharing experiences is what Qype and Tagcrumbs want but Qype should have no interest with their successful model to support the long-tail niche communities. <br /><br />A different thought, Tagcrumbs is focused on mobile, pull your mobile phone out of your pocket and mark, remember or share a place which is broken down to the GPS coordinate not an address (Qype 99%). Each placemark/note is independent of any described objects and easy to filter, tag, organize and better suited for engaging mobile applications which have an average usage time of under 30 seconds! <br /><br />There are many details that distinguish, in the end, Tagcrumbs is more like YouTube or Flickr with generic geo-referenced content instead of focused sites like local directories or travel communities.<br /><br />I cannot move to Qype with all the notes and descriptions I have written on Tagcrumbs, there is an overlap but personal niche content is not suited for Qype.<br /><br />Cornelius<br /><br />P.S. Already added a Tagcrumb? ;-)Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781739660431105805noreply@blogger.com
