infoGROUP announced its infoUSA database license division has licensed its US business database to Limbo, social networks.
infoUSA databases help populate the geographic information within Limbo’s location tools, giving members quick access to places nearby. Limbo members use the directory information to easily set themselves to a specific location so people can see where they are, or search nearby listings to find places to go and things to do. Limbo members set their activities and locations through Limbo’s website, mobile web, text messages, or through applications for mobile phones such as the iPhone.
Limbo technology furthers the usefulness of infoUSA data by automatically filtering location listings by activity. In one example, a Limbo member can set their activity as “Drinking coffee”, and a list of nearby cafes within the infoUSA database will populate so members can more easily set their location. The combination of activities and places creates more social opportunities for Limbo members.
infoUSA is the only company to telephone verify all businesses in its database, making over 26 million calls in 2007, to provide our customers with the highest quality data available for mobile directory applications. infoUSA remains a leading provider of proprietary business databases to the local search and mobile navigation industries.
