Both Urbanspoon and Foodily have announced upgrades to their apps that now allow for Facebook Timeline integration.


An update to the Urbanspoon app for iOS is available today and it will enable people to share their dining experiences with their friends. The new Dineline feature allows people to track restaurants they visited as well as what meal they had at that eatery. You can also upload photos and share memorable meals.

Dineline lets people easily record and share their dining history in a visual format, so they can see what restaurants they frequent most or connect with friends over their favorite cuisine. Enhancing Facebook Timeline with Dineline makes dining out a social experience long after the meal has ended.” says Kara Nortman, SVP of Publishing for CityGrid Media (owners of Urbanspoon)

In much the same way you can see what your friends are listening to on Spotify in Facebook, Foodily does for food. Foodily curates and shares the food people love. In addition to seeing food, when people favorite anything on Foodily after adding the app, it will addict to their existing Timeline. In addition to food, recipes can also be posted.

“This type of social food discovery between friends hadn’t been possible before – it’s the first recipe newsfeed that curates foods you and your friends love,” Said Andrea Cutright, CEO of Foodily.  “Now those 44 minutes a day people spend thinking about food can be a shared experience where ideas from friends can inspire your next meal.”

Foodily is available on the web, as an app in Facebook and available for iOS in iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/foodily-recipe-search-sharing/id475603520?mt=8
