			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visionary Lab’s highly customized and  developed business directory  modification offers more than just a link directory format.  We’ve developed, extended and evolved the basic  eSyndicat Directory  platform to offer an optional blog, coupons,  professional business listing page,  advanced listing type map, options  for more listing recognition for featured, sponsored and partner  listings and the ability to host a variety of media features for each  business listing.</p>
<h4>What is Included in the vLab eSyndicat Business Mod?</h4>
<p>Our eSyndicat Business mods come with easy installation instructions  and plugins that will automatically convert your standard eSyndicat link  directory into a full-on Business listing directory.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s been a long, yet fruitful development road we have traveled here  at Visionary Lab. We are very excited about our latest release, and  even more excited about what’s ahead in the next few months. 2010 is  going to be a very productive year for us, as it has been already.</p>
<p><strong>The Directory vLabCat Directory</strong></p>
<p>It’s going to be hard to sum up everything that is included in our  customized eSyndicat directory. In a nutshell, we’ve taken an already  robust directory platform and converted into a full on, featured loaded  Business directory. One that is not only competes with the major  directory scripts out there, but is also affordable and extremely  dynamic.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s because we have directory owners on our team, maybe it’s  because we see the real potential for Webmasters to make a successful  and profitable business, or perhaps we, ourselves are completely sold  and committed to developing and evolving a great directory platform.</p>
<p>Whatever the reason, we are happy to announce our <a href="http://www.visionarylab.com/newsite/products/directory-platforms">Directory  Platforms</a> to the public.</p>
<p><strong>Continuing Development Through Plugins and Addons</strong></p>
<p>Part of the reason we chose the eSyndicat as our base platform choice  is because of the tremendous possibilities in terms of expanding and  developing to take our ideas of what a quality business directory should  offer… to the NEXT level. Not only are we creating advanced features to  render a great directory product, but we are also putting a  considerable amount of effort in extending as many different features  through plugins and addons.</p>
<p>This will be an ongoing effort on our part, and as time beats on, we  will release more and more great plugin/addon products for our clients  to choose from.</p>
<p><strong>An Eye on Social</strong></p>
<p>Face it, social networking is the ‘thing’ to do, and the way we see  it, it will be the thing to do for as far as we can see in the future of  online interactivity. And, what better way to make use of such a great  tool, than to extend it in our directories? Business community meets and  mingles with their direct consumer market? The consumer market, aka,  local and niche communities benefit by being a part of either their  local community or a specific niche… with the edge on finding services,  products, commodities and related business interests.</p>
<p>The concept serves the community/consumers well because they can  share their favorite dining spot, pub, store, service with others that  share a common interest or within their local community. At the same  time, they can connect with others and create groups for their schools,  churches, sports, specific interests, neighborhoods and more. They can  also find out what local events are going on, or, perhaps post a  classified — engaging and interacting with those of the same interest or  locally.</p>
<p>We understand this importance and see the true benefit with  hyperlocal networking and combining the business and consumer worlds.</p>
<p>With our upcoming Go Social Directory addon, which we plan to release  by August of 2010 — we are literally putting social networking right at  the fingers of directory owners.</p>
<p><strong>Let’s Keep Moving</strong></p>
<p>Now, with our base platforms and products available to anyone who  wants to capitalize on all of the above — we are ready to keep a steady  but strong pace in continuing development and releasing new products and  services that will take our clients to the next level… every time.</p>
