Food.Fun.Stuff: Thummit-The Next Step Toward the Perfect Meal


Dream Date: You and your love go out, under the beautiful stars, to your favorite restaurant and what do you know?? The bill is $200 and... it's paid for by someone else!
Doesn't sound like reality, huh? Well, Thummit is trying to make this dream come true for you and a guest. What are we talking about??:

The Low Down:
Thummit is a free social recommendation service that lets you easily make recommendations, save them, and share them with friends and other trusted sources. Anytime, anywhere.

Thummit is currently in invite-only beta, with an initial focus on restaurants. With Thummit, you can:

>Quickly rate restaurants with a simple thumbs up, down, or “meh”
>Rate restaurants while at your table, via text message
>Save your picks and pans in one place for later review or to share with friends
>Create lists (Chinatown lunch spots, favorite dives)
>Poll your friends for feedback on a specific suggestions (where to take a date?)
>Find restaurants based on picks from your friends, or “wisdom of crowds” recommendations with data aggregated from over 40 websites
>Integrate with your Twitter account to save restaurant-related tweets in one place


The Where: Washington, D.C. based


Now back to how you can get this dream date...:
Give Thummit a try, then enter to win a dinner on them! All beta users who vote in the “Last Night on Earth” poll are entered to win a $200 certificate to the restaurant of his or her choice.

And since we just love our JKGF readers we were able to snag an Invite Only code for our readers;-) Here's what you do: 1. Go to www.thummit.com 2. See where it says "Already have an invite code?" and click on the "Sign up here" beside that 3. Enter in your information and the invite code DCeats ** and sign up!

Thummit is the next cool tool for the food scene in Washington, D.C. Just think, now you don't have to waste time on a restaurant that sucks, you can just click on your computer or even cell phone and see whether there's a thumbs up, thumbs down or a maybe we should wait on this one...;-) Now Sign Up!
