We recently saw a positive write up of our presentation at the NY Tech Meetup last week. Overall the post was positive but the writer, Joe Simpson of Mimeo (btw check out Mimeo when you get a chance, very cool company), pointed out some issues he ran into regarding our data.
In my brief test for accuracy, it did come up a bit short however. When I searched for my company, Mimeo, I was presented with two results. The first result was telling me my office is on 12 W 27th Street in New York. The second result dropped me onto 460 Park Avenue.
We fixed these issues and thank Joe for pointing them out. Our local data is something we are constantly working to improve but it can be challenging to keep up with all the changes happening in this dynamic city.
That’s why we created a system for the UpNext community to help us out and make our data better. If you want to edit or add a business listing, you can do this directly through the UpNext 3D NYC iPhone App.
Simply tap on the building where the business is or should be located. In the top right of the building directory you will find the EDIT button.
Tap on EDIT and you will be given a full screen list of all the businesses located within that building. At the top you have the option to add a new business. Simply select, ADD NEW BUSINESS or the name of the business you wish to edit.
Once you have selected the business you wish to add or edit, simply input as much information as you can regarding the venue. You have the option to modify: Business Name, Phone #, Address, Website, Open/Closed and Add Categories.
Simply select DONE when you are finished and you will be able to confirm your changes. All changes are sent to the UpNext team and we approve listing within 2 business days. (Note: the approval process is simply to prevent people from adding spam like businesses listings)
Thanks for the help and let us know if we can make the process better.
