Invitations

If you’ve been visiting the site regularly you might have noticed a few changes, the biggest of which being the open invitations. If you have an account on the site you can now invite friends by going to your home page and entering their emails into the invitation form. Before we send the email you’ll get a chance to customize the email message. Do you have a friend that really knows good food? Invite them and add them as a friend and you’ll start get recommendations based on their actions. Build your network of trusted friends with similar taste and never go hungry again! (bold claim huh?)

Frontpage

As you may have noticed, our design is ever involving. Currently we’re focusing on the front page. We’re shooting for a blend of education and content. Let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

Growth

As we start to open up little by little and refine the site it’s been a real joy to see users coming back to use the site and new users joining. Sure, there’s only a few of us on the site now but it just makes it a more tightly-knit community. We even had our first user to hit 100 tips received! Here are some of the top users (as of mid-day Sept 13):

• tulips500 – 102 tips received
• fattiusthebear – 88 tips received

• turtley – 59 tips received
• jdogg – 58 tips received
• foodbuddha – 48 tips received
• takeru – 45 tips received
• bonus_mop – 35 tips received

These users have written many great reviews that have been recognized with tips from other users. Just for fun, when you go to your homepage you’ll see your top 3 tippers.

Thanks to everyone that’s been so great about contributing reviews and especially those menus – it’s really helping the site take shape!

Keep sending feedback and we’ll keep working to please you.
