Tupalo.com Launches Social Yellow Pages Community in the US

One of Europe’s favorite social yellow pages communities goes west, launching their US local search in partnership with CityGrid Media. A Kind Of Homecoming: Tupalo.com Announces US Launch. Europe’s favorite social yellow pages startup goes west

[USPRwire, Wed Sep 15 2010] One of Europe’s favorite social yellow pages communities goes west, launching their US local search in partnership with CityGrid Media.

In a reversal of the usual practice of startups expanding from the US into Europe, Tupalo.com has crossed the Atlantic in the other direction. Having recently teamed up with CityGrid Media, a new local media company connecting the millions of businesses and customers on the local web, Tupalo already has over 1 million business listings across the USA, and is adding tens of thousands more on a daily basis.

Discovering, sharing and reviewing local businesses - whether restaurants in Houston, bars in NYC, bakeries in Chicago or antique shops in LA - has never been easier. Tupalo.com offers the ultimate in US city guides built by people in the know and on the go.

Launching in the US is not only a logical step for Tupalo as it continues to grow beyond its European heartlands but also a kind of homecoming for the company, one of whose co-founders, CEO Mike Borras, is an American currently living in Vienna, Austria.

Speaking from the Directional Media Strategies 2010 conference in Dallas, Borras said, "The US is a key market for local search, so we are partnering with flagship companies such as CityGrid Media that share our core values and vision. Tupalo is committed to an organic, all-inclusive approach, and we look forward to forging positive relationships with users, consumers, businesses and other partners throughout the USA."
