heh i see what you mean, but there are so many restaurants that sometimes it's fun just to roll the dice and see if something comes up that you forgot about/didn't think of. Also when you can't agree on a place with someone, you can take it to the app and shake it until you both agree. Don't know about you, but there have been times when i've wasted a lot of time trying to decide on restaurants when i get together with people.
edit: ha, ever date someone that could never help pick a restaurant, but would reject every choice you came up with? this would also come in handy for those situations instead of wasting half an hour just to decide lol

For you indecisive folks, try flipping a coin or rolling a die.

The whole thing about Urban Spoon is that they even admit they prioritize the chances a certain restaurant will come up. In other words, it is not random. In this way they can get restaurants who want a higher priority to bid for it, generating increased revenue. And everytime restaurant #1 bids for a higher priority, it moves every other restaurant down in priority, forcing them to pay more to keep up.

It's really a brilliant little marketing strategy if it works. But despite the fact that sometimes some people are indecisive, I can't imagine that there is a large need for this type of app...large enough to merit any real profit from it for them.

Like most iphone apps, it is a funky little piece of nothing that ultimately is meant to amuse more than to use.

.... true... but is it so wrong to want to be amused.

I need an app like urban spoon to tell me what to drink at the bar and where. "Coors light, Johnny's Pub, 15 beers" or "Jack and Coke, Ruby Tuesdays, until you get IIP charge."
