iPhone + Urbanspoon = A Dinner Decision
Now that the iPhone is on it’s way to Canada – check this out. Restaurant review site Urbanspoon has come up with a cool new iPhone application to help you decide where to eat in Kitsilano.
Urbanspoon co-founder Ethan Lowry describes his new iPhone application as a cross between a magic eight ball and a slot machine. The application works with the iPhone’s built-in accelerometers, which measure movement and the phone’s GPS functionality. That allows a person in a select neighborhood like Kits to shake the phone – which sets off a slot machine style interface that returns the highest rated nearby restaurants on Urbanspoon. They’ve been testing the device in Urbanspoon’s home town, Seattle, and it’s done a great job helping people find a good place to eat when they are seized by indecision.
Urbanspoon operates in 41 cities including Vancouver and this blog is currently the #2 Ranked Vancouver blog on their site. So, if you use this application to make your decision, chances are you’ll be using our reviews of local restaurants.
Wow. Cool
And you won’t be # 2 for long, soon you’ll be #1 on UrbanSpoon!
This app is slick…sorry for the late reply. Has done wonders for my blog too!
