The NEW theSUGGESTR.com

By admin, 29 November, 2009, 3 Comments

We are pleased to announce the release of a MAJOR update of theSUGGESTR.com.  This redesign completely changes the look and feel of the site and also introduces a number of new features.

Some of the key new features of our site include:

  • Improved Performance.
  • Improved Look & Feel.
  • A better search interface.
  • Improved Suggestions.
  • Simpler rating system.
  • Better “TV” Maps.

As always our primary goal is to provide you personalized suggestions for restaurants, bars, hotels and other local businesses your sure to love.  We use your tastes and the tastes of those like you to help make our suggestions.

Our new release focuses on making suggestion easier to get, more accurate and easier to access.  Our brand new look and feel should make using our site more pleasurable to your eyes and easier on your brain.  Our behind the scenes suggestion engine is now more accurate and will start providing suggestions with as little as two ratings (although with more ratings comes more accurate suggestions).

One of our favorite (and your favorite) features is our special TV Maps – where you can see the suggestions from some of your favorite shows such as Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Food Paradise.  Look out in the next week or so for us to add a new show (Man vs. Food).

Don’t forget using our alerts feature you can get notified when your near any of your personalized suggestions, places on your wish lists or places from your favorite TV shows.

We plan on continuing to update the site and offer more ways for you to keep in touch and get suggestions while on the go.

Please feel free to contact us with any feedback you have on our new site design.
