In plain words
LocalGo is a URL shortening service designed for physical addresses rather than web links. Launched in 2011, it allows users to create short, shareable links that point to specific locations. The tool is intended for anyone who needs to share addresses in a compact format, making it useful for businesses, event organizers, and individuals who frequently exchange location information. LocalGo simplifies address sharing by converting lengthy location details into brief, easy-to-remember links.

My buddy paulsingh and I have been working on this for a few weeks, got something up and running and wanted to show you. The problem we're solving: When you need customer service (your flight got canceled, strange fees on your bill, etc) you just want to talk to a real person.
