I want eatability 2.0

All right n00bs listen up, I like review sites right, and I like food. I use to be a big user of eatability.com.au but then I realised it sucks, why? Because it doesn't reward the reviewer, it does make you feel like all that time and effort in writing a review on a resturant matters 'cause basically all it does it get appended to a list ala a comments section on a blog really, and that sucks.

What I want is for someone to build a 2.0 restuarant review site that makes me feel like writing that review was actually worth it, I want my reviews to be able to be rated up or down, I want to have a count of reviews next to my username so people can see if I'm a fly by nighter or a serious contributor, I want to be able to have flexibility in categorising resturants into something that isn't by "food type" or "geographical district". I want owners to have their own type of user so they have a bit of control over what is listed on the site, so they can add more informational value or images, menu's, discount offerings, have right of proper reply etc, not what it currently is with them making daft usernames and pumping up their scores and making bogus reviews, or just negatively altering the work of others. I want amazon styled "if you liked this resturant you might like" functionality.

I want a bunch of other shit but just start with that, do it soon and don't make me do it myself *shakes fist*.

Whoops

Just napped to about 12:30pm.

Early Saturdays

I've been up, out of the house, to the Pyrmont market which seemed to be closed down do to the massive amount of rain we are having today, when to Pancakes on the Rocks which after the 3 or 4th time of being there is really really average. Then went to Glenmore meats and bought a ton of erm, MEAT. Now I am home and all before 10am!
