• Here’s the Fondu interface.

In today’s world of checking in via social-media applications, it’s easy to know where a friend has been eating or drinking. But what they thought of a place after they arrived? That’s not so simple.

Fondu is a new iPhone application, dubbed the “Foursquare for Foodies,” that has promise, in that it marries the geo-location aspect of Foursquare with the review capabilities of a site like Yelp. In other words, you can actually get a quick snapshot thought of a given restaurant or bar from someone you know.
