Where should I go to eat?
What should I order? Those two basic yet complex questions plague diners the world over. Forkly, a startup from veteran entrepreneurs Martin May and Brady Becker, may have the answers. Forkly for iPhone [iTunes link], released on the App Store Tuesday, seeks to understand your taste buds and the taste graph — how your tastes match up against the tastes of others — of the world in aggregate. "We want to give you personalized recommendations — to customize menus," Becker says.
The taste graph, as Forkly defines it, is comprised of the collection of food and beverage reviews — the app refers to reviews as "tastes" — from users, and how those reviews are connected. On Forkly, add a "taste" to say what you're eating or drinking and what you think about it. Your tastes are posted to the activity feed. You can use the Discover tab in the application to find out what's popular at nearby places, as determined by other Forkly users' tastes.
Tips, tricks and resources to make your own gorgeous infographics. Infographics (or Information Graphics) are graphic visual representations of data or information, presented in a way to make it easier to consume information.

There are three main types of infographics – where data is presented in a timeline, where statistical data is presented in graphs or with icons, or where data is presented on a map. In order to create an infographic which will be widely shared, think about your typography, colours, and layout. Make it easy for people to understand the information that’s being provided. Sometimes it’s best to keep things simple. You can also get very creative with how you display your information, and do something completely unconventional.
