Taste Savant: Find the place for your next date.  I’ve been looking for social review sites like this for a while. I know everyone except for me has been into Yelp for years. But I feel like Yelp is full of crazies. I tried to get into it, but I just can’t trust crazies for reviews. Plus, most restaurants have so many mixed reviews that I end up feeling just as undecided as when I went to Yelp to begin with. Which is why I’m excited about Taste Savant. You sign up, fill out your profile and get curated reviews from trusted sources. You can even filter based on neighborhood, cost or occasion. It’s only in NYC for now, but I’d imagine it will be coming to other cities soon. High-res

LastBash: Plan and organize awesome group trips without hassle.  I’m not the biggest fan of event planning in the PR/marketing world. I tend to feel a bit overwhelmed and can’t seem to focus on all the details that need sorting. But when it comes to vacation or parties in my personal life, I usually nail it. Still, a gal could use some help - and GoogleDocs just aren’t cutting it. LastBash.com lets an organizer set the stage but gives you a platform to let others weigh in. It’s not the prettiest thing, but I’m excited to try it out. High-res

SeeClickFix: Report neighborhood issues and get them fixed.  SeeClickFix gives everyday citizens a way to report and track non-emergency issues online or via a mobile phone. The concept is interesting because in theory you don’t have to deal with the hassle/annoyance of filing your complaint with the city. Of course if your city officials aren’t actually paying attention to what’s being said… well, that’s another story. Still, I think we’ll see more of these types of apps in the near future.  High-res

Food.ee: A new way to order office lunches.    While Food.ee is only available in Vancouver at the moment, it’s billing itself as “the fastest and easiest way to order meais for your team.” Whether you know what you want or are looking for inspiration, you can plug in the number of people and the maximum per person cost and Food.ee will get back to you with a recommendation. I’m hoping this comes to NYC soon. High-res

A sure trick to hiring the most qualified candidates. Hiring new people can be an incredibly difficult task, no matter what industry you’re in. Resumes are only words on paper and a 2011 study showed that 1 in 4 people lie on their resume (I’m looking at you, former Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson.) Smarterer lets you choose from hundreds of topics to create a test for candidates - helping you weed out the ones who really don’t know what they’re talking about. I love this idea and can’t wait to try it out.  High-res

Triposo: the best travel guide for your mobile device. I can’t vouch for the statement above, but I will say that I’ve already downloaded this app and am super excited about using it to plan and document adventures. Triposo creates travel guides using algorithms. They are generated from (as far as I can tell) pretty high quality content so the guides themselves are useful and relevant. Check it out, yo! High-res
