On Monday night, at about 9 PM PT, Bizzy launched the "Check Out." "Wait, what? You mean the 'check in'" No, we mean CHECK OUT! Checking in via Foursquare, Gowalla, Yelp, etc. is awesome. We do it all the time. Checking in let's your friends and followers know, "Hey, I'm here, come say hi." But then what? "Check Out!" Let your friends and followers know what you thought of the place you just visited. Were the fries good? Was the wait staff nice? How was the ambiance? The decor? People LOVE sharing things and guess what, we want to know what you think. With Bizzy's "Check Out" not only can you share your opinions and experiences with people but providing Bizzy with that info helps them give you even better personalized local business recommendations. It's a win-win. You can grab Bizzy for your iPhone or Android smartphone and start checking out right now! You can also read more about the news on AllThingsDigital, GigaOm, PC Magazine and Technologizer.

The creative team over at Bizzy (the local business recommendation engine) challenged their Dallas Community Manager, Elysa, to identify her top 5 Bizzy recommendations for cupcakeries in Dallas.

Sound fun or what? And lastly, the team had a huge win with Walt Mossberg and the Wall Street Journal when Walt did a stand alone review of the Peel Universal Control! Go team!
