Where are you looking when you want to find a great restaurant or bar or just a take-away next where you currently are? Or no, let me re-formulate: What are your criteria for such a website? What is currently available on the web is for me a bit too cluttered, all the tagging, favoring, want-to-go, comments, etc. (besides some icons without any alt text, so how can should I know what 85 hearts mean?)
What I’m looking for (or willing to build) is a website with a very simple interface: a map, showing you current location (no problem with todays technology), spots nearby along with a scoring and the possibility to vote for a spot, meaning “I was there and I liked it”, kind of like digging the spot (although I shouldn’t use digged, is that copyrighted?) If you didn’t like the spot, didn’t feel comfortable or the food was not up to your expectations, just don’t vote.
There should be also the possibility to define a timespan for valid votes (or scores), so that you can judge the quality of a restaurant over time.
