Praized has launched yesterday an iPhone version of the main portal hub, with a focus on search, and also top places near the user. The geo-localization feature is not yet implemented, but it shows a glimpse of a web application for finding local places on the move.
In the same day, the startup also replaced their homepage with activity streams of users, à la Facebook, with updates coming from all the communities powered by Praized. Previously, Praized.com was also in itself a “Tribe”, but it seems it’s shifting away to become a central hub.
