‘Tis in beta and being tested in the DC area by a DC tech startup. Loladex offers you an opportunity to recommend and rate local businesses. And it has a social media component. Yay. What a great way to promote local businesses you like. As well, you can communicate within your local social network and help others find businesses and services you recommend and value. Says their site,

• Find out what your Facebook friends think about restaurants, health clubs, auto mechanics, and more
• Compare your friends’ recommendations with professional reviews, all in one place
• Keep a list of your favorites, and share with people you know
