Discuss your fav restaurants with buUuk


The latest version (2.2) of local iPhone restaurant guide buUuk is now available for download. New features include a forum, the ability to tag restaurants as halal or non-halal (over 500 tagged so far), and pricing. 

The pricing function relies on crowd sourcing.  "Users get a slider when they write a buUrp (review) about a restaurant and can use it it provide their estimate of price. We then average the inputs," says Jon Petersen, one of the founders of buUuk.

The company is now setting its sights on new markets. They are hoping to launch buUuk for Jakarta in the first quarter of this year, timed to coincide with the launch of the iPhone in Indonesia. 

BuUuk (iTunes link) is free.
