Zagat.Mobi's Hilarious Execution Fail

New, 4 comments

First, check out the press release announcing the upgrade to Zagat.mobi, Zagat's mobile offering that now features "Twitter integration unique to its Webby award-winning mobile website." The cutting edge site newly offers a live stream of "relevant tweets" on each restaurant's listing page meant to reveal "how crowded the place is right now, what dishes they enjoyed and whether or not the celebrity chef is in the kitchen." Remember, the key word here is relevant.

The most recent integrated tweets for The Modern:

@gachna: "visited the Tate modern. some shopping down oxford street and then dinner at carluccios, lashings of red wine, with my two best friends. Fab"
@gacha "@pookieboy: "lol then went to visit the Tate modern. some shopping down oxford street and then dinner at carluccios, lashings of red wine."
@theboy1der: "Lunch - Vegetarian Spaghetti, last night's Modern Family, and 2 gassy puppies. Livin' the dream!"
