25885_414423635890_366026650890_5547834_2208981_nEver had a hankering for a specific pastry or a steaming cup of cappuccino, only to approach the venue and have your senses assaulted by a long line of people who shared your exact craving at the exact same time? Well, now there is a new iPhone application whose sole aim is to alleviate the occurrence of that very scenario. I am actually considering getting an iPhone–the blackberry and android apps are not doing it for me.

Line Snob is ready to tackle the interminable wait that frequently greets you at your favorite coffee shop, deli, or even the airport! Users can upload pictures of said venues to share with other Line Snob users, while leaving quick blurbs about wait times, crowd conditions, or recommended detours.

Line Snob hopes to benefit, not only customers, but the business proprietors as well. Business owners can market their brand and promote their products within the app, as well as access customer reviews and opinions. And Line Snob also offers games, apps, and other social tools to make the site fun and interactive.

Of course, the true success of Line Snob will rest on its ability to garner a multitude of members. After all, what good will come of logging on, if the place that you’d like to check out isn’t listed? I believe in this concept, and, as a foodie, I really hope that you will take the time to download the app for yourself. Line Snob. Because, really…who’s got time to wait thirty minutes for a lemon scone and a tall pike coffee Starbucks?

Vica cool apps that save people time.

Cha-Cha-Cha-Chaya

February 9, 2010 Uncategorized

I’ve dined at Chaya many times, at both their Beverly Hills and Downtown locations. And with RestaurantWeek in full effect, I had one more reason to stop by with a friend. For those not familiar with RestaurantWeek, it’s essentially a two weeklong promotion where participating restaurants (mainly medium to upscale) create pre fixe menus for [...]

3-D will be common place

January 4, 2010 Uncategorized

I am not a big movie buff, but when a friend invited me to go see “Avatar 3-D” with him last week, I decided to brave the holiday crowd and see if the film could live up to the hype. To my surprise, it did! A big factor that spurred me to see it was [...]

Bowling Is Like A Start-up.

December 7, 2009 Business

Bowling is like a start-up. Your team’s lane versus the other ten lanes going for the gold, the highest score. In every lane there is a leader. The leader either showboats and brings down the morale of his team, or the leader rallies the team and teaches them the secret of bowling. I was bowling [...]

Their claim is that they’ve made it better, easier, and faster. And often, this is exactly the case. In fact, pushing the limits of what a [...]

Texas BBQ in LA, Anyone?

November 16, 2009 Food

Over the weekend I went to Dr. Hogly Wogly’s Tyler Texas BBQ—which, fortunately for us Angelenos, isn’t in Texas at all, but is just a hop, jump, and a skip away in the city of Van Nuys. I opted not to take a photo of the beef ribs I ordered, or else my phone [...]

Work out so you don’t burn out!

November 12, 2009 Business

So I’ve seen myself get into this trap again and again-as I am in the early stage of building a company-where I forget to take care of myself. What, with the 15 hour days and crazy schedule, I simply forget to go to the gym. And I’m not alone. Entrepreneurs will ignore their gym sneakers [...]
