Who wants lunch?

Check out lunchSpark, a new social network app with a focus on one of my three favorite meals of the day (lunch). lunchSpark has a comprehensive list of eating establishments searchable by location; after you create a profile, you can see who else is in the area with similar interests, and hook up for a meal.

lunchSpark wanted to include supplemental information on each restaurant, whether it was a national chain or a local establishment. In order to do accomplish this, lunchSpark is incorporating user-generated content accessed through Blogdigger's search API. By pulling a search result feed formatted in RSS, lunchSpark was able to quickly incorporate highly relevant blog content into their site.

Here's my profile on lunchSpark (if you're in the area, let me know, I'm often free for lunch), and here's the page for Max's, home of the best schwarma in all DC (scroll down for the Blogdigger entries). I'll eat there anytime.

kind of information overkill, zip codes, logins, search boxes, loads of text, tags, wheater?... if it's about lunches it should be about lunches, no?
