An old school chum and I are trying to plan a lunch meet up in Seattle, but we're on opposite sides of the city. Is there any way for us to find a good lunch spot restaurant that's approximately midpoint in a city neither of us knows?

I've read and enjoyed your articles on adding Twitter / Google search boxes to a website. I am trying to figure out a way to have one search box on my site that displays results (in a multi-column horizontal table) for multiple sources, particularly Twitter / Google / YouTube. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I like using Yelp and reading people's comments on different restaurants and other venues, but I am constantly baffled by how it shows restaurants ten or more miles away from the area I'm searching and how there's no "sort by ratings" option. How do I just find the best rated restaurants in a given city on Yelp?

I know that on mobile devices there are all these cool apps that let you search "near you" for different types of restaurants, etc., and I know that Yelp has some slick capabilities, but I'm wondering if I can find local food, say a good pizza place, near me within Google Maps while on my laptop?

I was using Google Maps the other day to find a local restaurant and noticed that it now includes reviews. Unfortunately, my favorite restaurant has one review and it's from some crabby customer. I'd like to add a review too. How do I add a review on Google Maps?

My son and his friends are really into a iPhone program called Foursquare, and whenever they go somewhere, they "check in" so that they can find each other. Neat idea. Is there some way that I can add my own restaurant to the list of places where people can check in so that they'll see we're popular and perhaps check us out?
