i am assuming you are using ip address to find where i am and pull in suggestions from google. seems like the suggestions all fall into a category, like movies, fair, restaurants.

you could add vote up buttons to get better data? also facebook integration... to see what your friends might like. it's an interesting idea for sure.

thanks for the feedback! I'm actually getting the location data from google itself.

I like the facebook integration idea, and was thinking of doing something with their checkin feature? Don't they have something that lets you say: "I'm here!"?
