UrbanKite

UrbanKite for the myTouch and Android is an interesting new application that lets you discover cool new local hangouts and to spread the word about these places through Twitter. This myTouch app allows you to search for local restaurants, cafes, and other establishments based on category and keywords. It also mines Twitter for tweets and recommendations about specific places. This can be invaluable if you are looking for locations that have rapidly developing current events. You can also star establishments, which will act as a vote for the business – UrbanKite aggregates these votes and ranks resataurants and other establishments. A star also acts as a favorite on the application.

You can send a tweet right from within the application, and tweets automatically include links to the right location and restaurant, which means people who aren’t using UrbanKite will also be able to act on your recommendations. UrbanKite is currently in beta and future updates look promising, including a potentially intelligent recommendation service that bubbles new locations based on what other like-minded users have as favorites. If you are a regular user of Twitter, you will probably find that this is one of the myTouch apps that slips smoothly into your existing habits without a hitch. If you’re new to Twitter or hate it with a vengeance, this may not be the app for you. But the app acts as a useful discovery tool even without requiring you to use Twitter – so it may be a worthwhile download for just about anybody.
