Building a Better Mousetrap
Having choices is great. Having too many choices can be daunting, especially for busy New Yorkers and harried tourists. To cut through the clutter, we ask our friends for advice (aka "word of mouth"). Unfortunately our friends are not necessarily experts, and they’ve probably had limited exposure to all that NY has to offer. WordOfMouse.com is building a better, mousetrap – in the form of a CityGuide. WOM is a trusted source for the best of everything in NYC, screened by a team of Guides. WOM Guides are real New Yorkers, with different points of view and areas of expertise. The Guides help users find the "best" for their specific tastes, budgets and neighborhoods, from an edgy lower east side hipster who knows where the rock stars get their tattoos, to a chic upper east side mom who knows the best "mommy and me" yoga class. WOM only recommends the best, so busy NYers can quickly find the resources they need. Recommendations are honest, thorough, opinionated and entertaining, describing strengths and weaknesses for each company, backed up with personal anecdotes.
