Ever 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.
