INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – At the Indianapolis Startup Weekend event, November 12-14, seven entrepreneurs co-founded a new mobile web application, titled EatDrink.it [pronounced eat-drink-dot-it ], a meal review service based on location. The application helps answer the following question at any restaurant: "What do I want?".
EatDrink.it will now participate in the Global Startup Battle Wild Card competition, in which the public votes to decide a winner. They will be competing against teams formed in 23 cities, spanning 10 countries, for prizes to support company advancement, such as support from well known entrepreneurs and investors. Voting for the competition is now live. Visit http://bit.ly/VoteEatDrink to vote for EatDrink.it.
The application accomplishes both a personal and social function. First, the application allows you to easily review any restaurant meal and then quickly recall your personal review during your next visit. Secondly, EatDrink.it provides instant meal recommendations based on the meal reviews shared by others at specific locations. The application automatically detects your current location, providing you both your previous personal reviews and those left by other restaurant goers.
Registration for the application is currently available by accessing www.eatdrink.it from either a mobile web browser or a desktop browser.

Tech info: the application is built using the latest mobile web technologies. It leverages HTML5 location tags to pull back locations from foursquare within location compatible mobile browsers like those found on the iPhone and Android devices. Eventually the company plans to move forward into the mobile application market with entries into the Apple App Store, Android Market, Windows Market Place, and Palm App Catalog.
