Social Graph that Includes Both People and Places

By connecting people and places in one social graph, people can get a more relevant and personalized local search and browse experience by viewing places that matter to their friends. In addition, Center’d provides a new way to connect to people by showing the places they have in common, such as schools, organizations or their favorite restaurants. This approach is more purposeful in a local context and better represents people’s everyday lives compared to one-dimensional social graphs.

Power of the Trusted Few Plus the Wisdom of Crowds

In addition to getting a quick-read on places through the opinions of trusted friends, Center’d has aggregated ratings and reviews from around the Web so people can get a quick snapshot of what the general Web audience thinks.

Marriage of Local Search and Planning Tools

Center’d combines local search information with planning tools to make the planning process more seamless. People can quickly start plans from a search result page or detail page for any place, or easily select and map places while using the planning functionality.

Polling and Task Management Tools

Center’d provides features that make even complex events and activities easier to plan by enabling organizers to poll guests to find out what time and place works best for everyone and to recruit and manage volunteers with online sign-up sheets.
