Mapping, Social Networking and Restaurants

CouponCuisine wants you to sign up for their service. It's what it sounds like - you get coupons for local restaurants. But there's a catch; the site will choose (up to) five cities to serve first based on votes from new members. Later, it seems, "Depending on city size, when we reach either 7% of your city’s total population OR get 2,500 members for that city, we’ll start approaching the restaurants that you told us about."

The site was launched earlier this month and now has about 11 cities, none with more than 25 votes. The idea is that you vote (by signing up and filling out a survey of your preferred local eateries) then tell a friend. The goofy Flash Map has red (more votes) and blue (less votes) markers.

I wonder who funded this...
