cool idea and i like the simplicity of your site. it took me a few seconds to find bars in the Reno area. how does it make money and why do the icons have to resemble iPhone icons so much?

This is one of the coolest concepts for a website I've ever seen. This has the potential to be huge. It looks like something Apple did. Very slick interface. This is what yellowpages should be like. If I had $10 million I'd be in on this.

Parker, to answer your questions. 1. We make money by companies subscribing to us on an annual basis for a Premium membership which includes the company's logo as a return instead of tradition text. If you visit our partners page or advertise with us page, you will see examples. 2. We used the iPhone designs as a guide, and worked from there. Considering the success of the iPhone, I wouldn't mind a fraction of that success.

Pitch is pretty good. After looking at the website and seeing the simplicity and design. This idea has legs. Very interesting advertising model. Hard to believe Apple or Microsoft is not already doing this. Getting funding for this should be easy.

if i was searching for check cahsing in denver, co, why wouldn't i just goto google and type in check cashing denver. then i could even use google maps to locate the one closest to me. a keyword search vs. an online directory is the exact reason google took over the world, and yahoo is where it is. good luck, but if i was an investor, i would not invest in this.

Check Cashing in Denver---LogoNav Vs. Google 90 results on 1 page Vs. 10 in google

It was very easy to use. looks like you could have a winning idea here. I think you need to have more listings to really make it useful for a broad range of users but that is probably because you just started it. Do you have a mobile version. It looks a bit small on my Ipod Touch /Iphone

Nathan, we are working on the iPhone version currently that will optimize the interface and make it as easy to use as on a PC.

a great site. one of the easiest to negotiate, and one of the most attractive of this type that i've seen.

This idea *ucking sucks. Sorry but you read off a canned script, then show us "logonav" with no logos showing up for any area just a list.. So basically this is just a dumb directory? You're recreating yelp and all the other services that actually already do this? So your an information broker who's supposed to show logos for navigation. Your navigation sucks, where is a UI guy? Your Site is ugly. You offer no value to me or anyone I know. You want money for what again? And the site is poorly coded, you can use a $20 directory script to do the same thing, ONLY better. Sorry to be a jerk, but you guys needed to hear the truth.

you would have thought YellowPages would have come up with something like this...

From the first time I hear of the idea and looked at the site I was sold. Savvy, clean, super easy to understand and use. Where do I buy stock??
