Doesn’t the use of Yahoo Local goes against the terms of service? I see two potential problems:

1) Yahoo APIs may not be combined with competitor’s (eg, Dishola is using Google maps and Adwords)
2) Yahoo Local, to my understanding, currently may not be used for any commercial purposes.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic site. I’m jealous.

Would be great if Dishola would use the data provided by chefmoz (part of the open directory project).
They would get a lot of data for free, together with reviews. The IP2Location lookup doesn’t work properly for me, maybe it runs better for US citizens.

I got the privilege of testing out Dishola before it’s public release — and all I can say is that it is extremely well engineered — and something I will definitely be using for years to come.

Love it!

First, it’s clean and simple.

Second, I can’t tell you how many times I just want to know where to get the best sushi/pho/steak in my home town or when I travel. This is awesome!

Very nice…

This is an awesome website. As a foodie I have always wanted a website where I can search or post my favorite dishes and review them. The whole web 2.0 experience sweetens the deal. Thanks Dishola ^_^

This site is pretty cool. I do however wonder how many people will use it via mobile phone and what features could be added to make that easier.

I hope Boston and New York get popular on it. On the note of other Web 2.0 sites, does anyone think a Web 2.0 website where you submit and vote on events (concerts, lectures, talks, parties, exhibitions, festivals, etc.) in your area would be popular?

If so I’m thinking about starting one because it’s about time that I could get a list of all the events in the Boston area, particularly in universities, whose great events never show up in newspapers or any other accumulated listings. Does such a website exist? If not, any suggestions on what would make one worthwhile?
