Crowdbeacon是基于LBS的移动问答平台的核心，是“Crowdbeacon”应用，主要针对iPhone用户，致力于通过问答让基于地理位置的交流更有价值。

　　毕竟本地人才最懂美食、购物、活动、美容等。很难吸引用户参与问答，分享自己的知识和经验，而商业用户显然希望通过Crowdbeacon获得更多用户。

　　用户在使用Crowdbeacon的时候，和Quora一样，会随机浏览一些问题，专门提问或者主动回答。当然，为了让这类问答有一个好的起点，Crowdbeacon整合了现有的多种服务，包括Foursquare上现有的提示、Yelp上的评论、本地购物搜索Wishpond上的购物信息等。也就是说，当用户提出一个问题时，他可能会立即得到相应的答案，并明白这些问题是可以解决的。例如，推荐一家纽约的音乐酒吧?也许Crowdbeacon很快会从Yelp给你提供信息。

　　Crowdbeacon is a location-based service focused on providing relevant, localized communication and information to users based on what they need and where they are.

　　Using Crowdbeacon, you can find what you're looking for -- the best burrito, where to get a dozen roses, the best happy hour nearby -- by getting responses in real-time from the local experts and businesses around them that have what they are looking for. And since sometimes responses aren't enough, Crowdbeacon integrates the top results from Yelp, Foursquare and Wishpond to help you find what you need!
