Via the excellent You're It! blog on tagging comes
word of Dinnerbuzz, a folksonomy for restaurants. Since it's still nascent it hasn't
quite reached that critical mass of useful amounts of data yet, but the concept makes sense in the same way that 43places does: everybody travels (or, exists
somewhere), and everybody eats. It would be fantastic to be able to go to Dinnerbuzz and be assured of finding a great
place to chow down while travelling in unfamiliar territory, or to discover unknown places closer to home. As Alexandra
Samuel notes in her post, it's a glaring omission to not be able to narrow a search by rating —
so that you can limit your results to only the top-rated restuarants in Palo Alto, e.g. It also remains to be seen if
the site will attract enough of a userbase to invoke whatever strange alchemy can transmogrify a codebase into a
community.
Update: Justin Smith tells us search by rating has now been implemented! Now that's my kind of turnaround time. ;)








1. When I first read about your post regarding 43places, in my blog I anticipated the launch of the following sites as well:
* 43songs
* 43webpages
* 43diningplaces
* 43cars
* 43bars
* 43books
* 43movies
* 43people
* 43beers
* 43athletes
* 43tv-ads
* 43newspapers
And a few others. I guess I can now cross out the "dining places" :-)
