We also want to provide you with some feedback on how we think you can best enjoy MyFriendSuggests.com.  Here is our list of the top 5 things you need to do to enjoy MyFriendSuggests.com:

1)      REGISTER – I can’t stress this enough if your not registered (and logged in) you cannot take advantage of personalized recommendations, our personalized newsletter, our similarity meters and many other great features.  Without being logged in our site is just like so many other local search sites, so please register and login today.

2)      Add and Invite Friends – Once your registered you need to add some friends to your friend network.  Your friend network helps you (and us) find places you’re friends (and their friends) have enjoyed.  It also enables you to learn about where members of your friend network have tried and learn from those experience.  The more friends you add to our site the more personalized your experience will be.

3)      Rate Places – The #1 factor in our suggestion algorithm are the places you’ve rated on our site.  We use these places (along with other factors) to accurately predict how well you will like places you haven’t been.  The more places you rate the more accurate our predictions.  Remember you can rate places by just clicking the red stars on just about any screen throughout the site.  Also don’t forget to add suggestions for places that aren’t yet on our site.

4)      Add Favorite Neighborhoods – Favorite Neighborhoods allow us to know about which places you’re interested in getting suggestions for.  If you live in San Francisco with no plans on ever going to Omaha Nebraska I doubt you want restaurant suggestions there.  We recommend you add cities near your home, work and places you frequently travel to (for business or pleasure).   To add a favorite neighborhood just login and from your home page click the “Add Neighborhood” Link.

5)      Read our newsletter – Your favorite neighborhoods also generated the content to your personalized newsletter.  Learn about new places to try and get personalized suggestions sent to you.  Your newsletter should come about every 2 weeks.  Be sure to read it for other important news about our site.

We hope these tips help make using MyFriendSuggests.com easier and more enjoyable.  Don’t hesitate to give us feedback on what we can do to make the site better (send emails to info @ myfriendsuggests.com).
