Forkly, by Forkly Inc. is a new, free, social networking app that focuses on restaurants and food. Share all your favorite dishes and drinks with your friends. Post your food finds to Facebook, Twitter, or by email and SMS.
Forkly is a free app for the iPhone or iPad, and allows users to search for food and drinks within a 25 mile radius of their location. The different establishments that come up will provide tips and suggestions of favorites that have been shared by others.
You can build your influence on Forkly, by sharing ratings and photos of food to Twitter and Facebook. This will earn you influence points, where you can earn the spot of being the top influencer. You can also add short reviews of a particular restaurant and the food they serve.
The ratings feature allows users to state how they feel about a meal. They can “love it,” “like it” say it’s “okay” or “not for me.” From here, Forkly creates a trend graph for each user, based on this taste information. Forkly will then provide menu ideas built from this data.
The app depends on users to provide the information, so until Forkly builds up a large network, it will take some time to gather enough useful information. If you like being a trendsetter in technology, here is a great opportunity to try
Forkly out, and be the first of all your friends to use it.
A Twitter account is required in order to use and sign into Forkly.
