A simple concept we learnt as kids and we continue to teach out kids is – Sharing. But today’s companies tend to forget that – it is your information, it is your photos and it is your videos that you share with others on social sites that drives the site’s value – however, these companies forget to share some of that value with you.
Our objective at I Like This Place is to ensure you get rewarded for SHARING. We promised to ourselves that we will make it a year long Christmas for you all in 2011. We are soon going to launch our reward system where you can redeem from a long list of available items for the points your collect for SHARING, again 
In addition, we will also reward you at every possible opportunity for just visiting our site. How cool is that?! Starting today (1/11/2011), Sign-up on our site (www.ilikethisplace.com) and enter a chance to win a $50 iTunes Gift Card for Valentines Day. Results will be announced on 2/14/2011.
Welcome 2011 with a smile!

No purchase necessary. You must be 18+ years of age and currently reside in one of the 50 US States to qualify. By signing up on our site, you are agreeing to the full rules and restrictions. We will be randomly choosing a winner and our decision is final.

There is magic in the words “Happy Holidays!”. There is celebration and a spirit of giving back. Everyone is happy and want everyone around them to be happy. New purchases for self and gifts for others, it is just amazing how time in this “Happy Holidays” season is different. It all seems very natural. We all “Like” it. However, due to these testing “economic” times, it is necessary to remember those who need a helping hand more than ever. And, there are many charities that are doing more than their capacity to spread the cheer of joy.
I Like This Place is doing its bit of too. During this holiday season, I Like This Place will donate over $1000 to charities that need an extra hand of financial support and you can make this possible. All you have to do is send in photos or videos of your favorite places in your neighborhood and I Like This Place will donate on your behalf. That’s right, “Send Photos, Help Charities!”. It does not cost you a thing but the return is high – the happiness of giving back.
So, do your bit of charity on us!
Here’s what you should do and know:
- Send photos / videos (10 MB limit) along with the Place name, address (street,city,state) to campaigns@ilikethisplace.com
- Your favorite places could be Local Parks, Lakes, Museums, Trails etc
- Write why is this your favorite place (optional)

In this post, I want to highlight that our initial beta assessment show that we met our critical success factors that make this service a powerful and useful tool for users. We received feedback from users that our site UI is user friendly and provides summarized information about places that help them make meaningful decisions while visiting new places. And, that is our objective. We also got some useful tips that we will be focusing on in the next few months. So, I want to extend my sincere thanks for using our service and request you to continue your usage.
Remember, this site can grow leaps and bounds with your usage and your content. So, keep adding new places, rate places, review places, and add your photos and videos.
I Like This Place, our Location-based Personalized Tavel Intelligence Service, launches today. As a Founder and CEO of I Like This Place, I would like to invite you to explore and enrich the site. This service is meant to connect people with their surrounding and make that connection more personal. Our service provides you with the ability to search places, plan your day or trip, add businesses along the way and trip with confidence.
Your ability to browse nearby businesses and pick your choice based on your preferences, enhances your experience and give you immense control not to mention benefitting local businesses and the economy in general. Please share this site with your friends and family and let them know about this great service. The more you share, the more you will contribute in making the economy stronger.
To make your experience even more memorable, we recommend places that you might find interesting based on the preferences you defined in your user profile.
