Truffle 2.0 - Ask your friends for their favorite restaurants

by

Truffle is a word of mouth Yelp. We've built a messaging platform that saves your preferences for favorite restaurants into lists that are usable in conversations on Truffle and now in iMessage.

Been waiting for something like this where I don't have to search Yelp or Foursquare, just the places I love and send it easily to my friends

Great way to keep up with new restaurants with my closest friends.

Truffle has helped me find some great restaurants and is so much better than sifting through the typical outdated review site. This new feature is great for coordinating with friends!

I like the social discovery aspect of Truffle, and am excited about the new messenger integration!

Pros:

Discovery without clutter, good categories

Cons:

It'll grow I'm sure, but I'm enjoying it thoroughly as it is right now!

Congrats @tomlimongello and the Truffle team!

Cool! What is there is deadlock? Can Truffle flip a coin to resolve? :-)

@esqrama early on we did a tinder-like swipe left/right game to ask people if they liked a set of places or not, but the single pic is a harsh judgement of a restaurant. Also we moved away from one favorite because it caused friction (actual stress!) for powerusers when they were restricted to one favorite. But when trading favorites with friends and you're trying to figure out where to go, a coin flip might be fun! OpenTable does a voting system for filling tables and I'm not sure if people have really started using it or not. Thanks for trying out Truffle!
