hmmm... this is fun. could sfist start doing weekly (or so) reviews of local web companies, start ups, 2.0's, blog, etc. it would be interesting to get your feedback and all the users feedback and opinions on the local web companies. shamelessly, i'm working with a startup, and would love the free publicity... ;o)

Hey Jeremy, Thanks for your thorough opinions about the site. We hear your points. The site's got some rough edges to be sure, and those will get addressed through constructive feedback. Our users love the site because we focus only on the dining experience - this allows those who really care about where and what they eat to better express themselves and connect with other foodies. The ability to rate dishes has been one of the things our food-focused users love the most about the site, and many use it as a personal food journal. Call it a difference in taste, if you will. Additionally, thanks for the free copyediting. -John, co-founder, Menuism.com

I live in the Sunset. Menuism.com? The nearest restaurant listed doesn't exist (nor did it ever exist). Of the nearest 50 restaurants, only 2 have reviews. YumGuide.com? The 3 closest restaurants listed are 1.3, 2.8, and 4.0 miles away. No thanks, I'm going back to Yelp.

YumGuide.com is better!
