Khojguru offers an interesting take on local search by marrying it with social features like friends, profiles etc.
It is a network of users and retailers that help users along with their friends keep abreast of the latest in the city's retail scene. Users can ask a question and will get answers directly from the retailers, service providers and outlet managers.
At the surface, Khojguru appears to be just like any other local search site - you can search for restaurants, movie theaters, coffee shops etc in your city along with the regular fanfare like reviews, ratings etc.
You can join a fan club for the particular service, view the catalog online as well as talk to the merchant directly via a click 2 call feature. The listing also features discounts which can be sent directly to your mobile via SMS.
The social component offers an interesting perspective on a local search site. Users can follow their friends to know their likes and dislikes and what they do on the website.
The site also has a redeemable point system to reward the users for their knowledge contribution.

Unique Features and Our Reviews
KhojGuru is another site on the very popular concept of location based search engine. Though their focus is on retail networking, they do offer other usual content.
The site navigation is simple and the looks are pretty ordinary. The site is still in beta stage and does have a lot of sections under construction. There is a huge work that needs to be done as the competition is tough with many sites already in establishment mode in this domain.
