ALikeList has redesigned and changed its name to LikeList:
For new users the site is really pushing logging in with Facebook (to accelerate adoption) vs. joining directly:
Not long ago Malcom Lewis’ Fablistic — a site that’s philosophically similar but aiming beyond YP and entertainment categories — also redesigned.
The idea of these sites is to enable people to quickly find recommendations from their friends and communities. With LikeList are no negative or critical reviews, as in the Yelp or Trip Advisor model. Fablistic, by contrast, uses a “stars” model (3 out of 5 stars).
