Hi, I have developed a Facebook app for small and local trades, services, businesses, etc, it extends the Facebook page system which is a bit limited for this by adding additional categorisation and searchability specifically targeted to a users local area.
It also extends the Facebook friend network within the app to work a bit more like LinkedIn with connections who are friends of friends, users can see if connections have recommended businesses that they are searching for in their area rather than just if friends have liked a page which has very limited reach as far as locating new customers.
Don't worry this isn't a sales pitch, partly because the app isn't totally live yet and won
time to let it sleep.
