A good friend of mine has launched a new site that I think you might find really interesting. The site is YellowBot.com and it's a cool mixture of City Search, Google Maps, and RealEats. The site is really a geographic based search engine that lets you put what you want (pizza, snowshoes, dog food, etc.) with where you want it (city, zip code). When you do the search it brings up the list of things you want that are nearby. What's even more cool is that users who have actually been to the places in the list can write unbiased reviews about them and give you an idea of what to expect.

The site also has a sense of community in that you can establish a group of friends with whom you can share reviews, and tagged pages. There is also an interface that lets you send messages to other users much like email.

They are currently in Alpha and have just come out of invite only stealth mode so not all the features are working and there might be a few bugs lingering around. They do have a forum that lets you contact the development team directly to let them know if you run into a problem.

My write up doesn't do the site justice, but you should really check it out for yourself and see how cool it is.
