This is Tech

This morning I saw a demo on Venturebeat.com of a new native iPhone app from a Seattle-based startup called Urban Spoon. Urban Spoon is a client of my firm, so I have had some exposure to their original website, which aggregates information about restaurants and allows users to vote on which restaurants they like.

Urban Spoon has an iPhone application in the wings that looks to be a great way to add some spontaneity to your dining plans. The application (demo embedded below) uses the iPhone’s location awareness and provides you with a slot machine style wheel of fortune for picking restaurants. Shake the iPhone and a recommendation is made. Don’t like the pick, shake it again.
