Choosing a Restaurant

Suppose you wish to choose a place to eat. There are lots of reasons it might help to have the opinions of others. Perhaps you wish your club to meet somewhere, and you want everyone to be happy with the choice of restaurant. Or maybe you are in a restaurant club, a group of people who like to try new places. Or maybe you just like trying new places yourself.

You could email people, but it can be hard to get an overall direction from a bunch of text replies. You could ask for numeric ratings, but people are more likely to do it if it's easy. Even if you get the ratings, you have to use a spreadsheet (or if you're ambitious, paper!) to calculate results.

Using Thinkmeter, you can create a meter and add a few options in a minute or two and send out a link (no login necessary). Your friends follow the link and can rate and give comments (no login necessary). Here's what a friend would see:

If you put an Yelp link in an option, Thinkmeter grabs some details like address, ratings, cuisine type, phone number, "Map It" link, and a link for more details, so people can evaluate further if need be.

Using Thinkmeter is quick, fun, and helps you make a better decision.
