Membership is free and allows people to: get to know their local neighbourhood and the people in it, search for businesses by postcode, find out more about their area (or an area they are looking to move to), get recommendations for local services from other members, join forums, organise and find out about local events, get to know like-minded people who don’t live thousands of miles away and buy and sell products and services locally or nationally in the Market Place.

TMZ.com is one of the most popular celebrity gossip blogs on the web today, and works tirelessly to keep the world up to date on the latest goings on among people we care about for some odd reason.
The broad breadth of coverage from TMZ really sets it apart from other celebrity gossip sites. Somehow, they manage to cover both celebrity break-ups AND hook-ups!
The monkeys at Banana Name like to hit the town for a bite to eat from time to time, but one thing they really hate is when they go to what they’ve heard is a great restaurant only to have a marginal meal. It turns out that this is largely due to the monkey’s inability to determine what the RIGHT thing to order is when they go to a restaurant. They’ve been known to do crazy stuff, like order a fish sandwich at iHop.
Then, along came Menuism, which is designed to deal with the exact problem the monkeys face. Menuism enables restaurant goers to rate individual items on the menus of restaurants they visit so future restaurant goers (including monkeys) will know what to order and what to avoid.
Starting today, Menuism is going to run Food Fight competitions to determine where the best meals can be found in cities across the United States. Contest #1: Where can you find the best pancakes in Chicago, Seattle, New York, or San Francisco?
