Where are the most affordable places to shop for designer clothes in your city? Who is a dentist with a good reputation in your town? Where can you find free parking downtown? askalo, the new location-based Q&A online community lets everyone ask questions about any local topic and share answers tailored to individual needs.

Location-based questions that require local experience or knowledge to provide a meaningful answer cannot be resolved simply by using a search engine. And even if people could find their answers through a search engine, they would often have to visit several different pages to receive answers to all of their questions. askalo, the new online Q&A community with a local focus offers a platform for all local questions and answers. Whether a person is looking for an affordable store, a trusted doctor, the best place to park his or her car, a good school, a fun nightlife location, or even useful tourist information, askalo is the place to ask these questions and receive local tips from local people with local knowledge.

askalo is based on the idea that when people want quality information about things to do and see in their city, they will ask a local person who knows his or her way around. The website is for people who want trustworthy and reputable answers to their city-related questions. The askalo community votes for answers they find the most helpful. These votes allow others to identify tips that meet their needs. Users also receive points and awards for sharing good answers. Points and awards are used to rank and highlight users who have contributed quality information about their city.

The askalo team consists of young Internet enthusiasts eager to offer something new, local, practical, and engaging to Internet users. "With askalo we wanted to provide a place where everyone can find local information that meets any specific need they have. Users can get different opinions from other people on various local topics, meet people with similar interests, and interact with each other while having a good time.", says Klaus Gapp, founder and CEO of Yalwa, the company behind askalo.

USA user Zekebamm shared their experience with askalo, stating "I find askalo very fun. I really like helping others by answering their questions.

If I were to move to a new place, I would definitely go on askalo to get some insider tips, meet new people and find my way around better."

askalo offers everyone the opportunity to experience their city in a new way. Anyone who is interested in discovering new things in their city or helping others get to know their city better can find and share useful and personalized answers on askalo.
