Yabble
(Internet industry)

Yabble is a website that lets you share reviews of your favourite Australian businesses - cafes, bars, pubs, shops, restaurants, florists. It is like your own personal Yellow Pages, written by your friends and other locals. After envisioning the idea in early 2008 I developed the initial business plan, created the branding and managed development. Yabble was recently awarded 2nd place in the RMIT Business Plan Competition, the City of Melbourne Creative Industries prize, and the Jacques Nasser Business Startup award.
