When it comes to searching for the right type of business or industry, the only reliable thing you can do is how they are rated. It is something similar to social bookmarking but focused on the business industry. And thanks to Superpages, a new app that allows users to give them random business a “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” can really be a big help.

The new application is the Superpages Mobile BlackBerry Storm which allows users to rank and provide reviews for specific businesses. With over 17 million U.S. based businesses, this is certainly a great app you can count on to whittle down your selection.

Search by keyword or choose popular categories — like automotive, entertainment, restaurants, services and stores — and view as much or as little information as you like. Use the scroll bar at the top of the search results to minimize or expand business information. Go from business name and number to full business address and services to viewing search results on a map.

The Superpages.com BlackBerry Storm application is free and available in the BlackBerry Store. A version for the BlackBerry Bold and the BlackBerry Pearl will be coming to the BlackBerry Store soon.

Similar to the social bookmarking practices we see today, Superpages has announced the new Superpages Mobile where people can review businesses and give them a thumbs up or down for other readers and viewers to check out. Most local search iPhone apps only allow users to read reviews but Superpages.com is one of the few to allow users to submit reviews.

The Superpages Mobile app brings the power of Superpages.com to your iPhone or iPod Touch, which means access to more than 17 million U.S. businesses – wherever you go.

Plus, Superpages Mobile has the powerful backing of the new SuperGuarantee program where services provided by select advertisers on Superpages.com and the Verizon Yellow Pages are guaranteed.
