Blogdex-style food menu

Seems to me that people like being popular as much as they want popular things. In the age numerous options, people don't bother thinking about how to choose things very much. They are more likely to choose what other people have chosen.

That's why you can see a lot of listings that gather particular items based on their popularity. Best examples are Yahoo's most emailed news and most emailed images, NYTime's most emailed articles, Blogdex, etc.

Now imagine a restaurant menu that lists the popular foods everyday with some kind of quantitive index. The menu can be updated everyday or maybe in the future, thanks to durable and foldable LCDs, in real-time.

I would definitely try it if I had my own cafe or restaurant.

Well, I have a blog that uses food vocabulary. I called it "Brussels sprouts Sushi Bar". And new notes are called usualy after different dishes. Than people add comments and this way i get that type of index you're thinking about. The only problem for you is that my blog is in polish. But feel free to drop in anyway.

Hi Hossein, I find it very admirable that you attempt to put out an English version of your weblog too. Just a tip to improve your grammar: In order to improve the quality of your writing, try to study more on proper use of the "prepositions". Your English suffers mostly from misuse or lack of the proper prepositions. The proper use of prepositions for non-native speakers is tricky and needs lots of practice, listening and watching. Anyway, keep up the good work.

BS again... Have you ever asked yourself, why russian space-exploration programs have been more successful than thier Americans counter-parts? The answer is so simple... They do not go to innovate a new generation of PENs that can write in Zero-gravity level (by using tens of micro-pumps forcing inc get outta there).. THEY JUST USE A PENCIL... A.. PENCIL... How many times I should tell you that there is a thin line between "being creative" and " simply non-sense telling", but you still dangling in the second part.. and please do not delete my comments if you can not answer them. Thanks
