Depending on execution, this actually looks like an awesome idea to me. The best recommendations come from reliable friends, who say things like, "try the X at Y, it's the best thing on the menu." If it can properly pair my tastes with others who have similar taste, I would love it.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoHow is this substantially different from Foursquare tips though? I get that the focus is on items, not places, but that just makes it harder. The #1 reason why I don't use Foursquare is no one -- not a single person -- I know in real life uses it, despite me nagging them to. If you go even more niche an start checking into items on a menu, you're going to have a tough time finding users who get the full benefit outside of the San Fran bubble.

- angryasian 15y agobased on my real world usage, I either have something in mind and will check on yelp, or if I'm really clueless I'll check out my friends reviews. I'm usually limited to what restaurants are in an area x miles away from me, and in a short time I pretty much know all the good items at all the places within the areas I frequent. For all the companies that try to build off of these types of recommendations I just don't see it as a problem.
