I'd like to invite any and all interested librarians to be a little bold and have a little fun by going to online "Answer" sites, such as:
* Yahoo Answers
* Amazon's Askville
* The WikiPedia Reference Desk
(see a list of others at http://answerboards.wetpaint.com/page/Registry+of+Answer+Boards?mail=1127)

Librarians Invade! (*)
Sunday, September 09, 2007
I need an iPhone replacement for Vindigo!

i have a pretty new iPhone. it's very exciting.
BUT. i need to find some way to organize my restaurant habits.
I need to be able to say, this is where i am, okay, what restaurants are near this corner? where's the nearest indian restaurant ... no, not that one, how about the next?
what restaurants have i noted in the last year, and what ones are nearby?
if it's a web app, i guess, usable in Safari, i don't have to hack it -- and i can edit from the computer OR iPhone, which is handier.
Google Maps on the iPhone lets me make my own notes, it's true - but it doesn't let me browse around and see what restaurants (or stores) are nearby. nor does it let me sort - korean restaurants in this neighborhood; it's just sorted by neighborhood.
Is there a good web resource for keeping track of your favorite restaurants? I've used vindigo for so many years that i don't even know; citysearch and its ilk isn't going to do it for me, that's for sure.
I'd like a combination of searchability and reviews and information.
The functionality of Vindigo -- of being able to tell it, "I'm on the corner of 8th and 18th, where's the nearest tapas place?" and seeing that there's two nearby that i've liked a lot.
Internets? help?
