Now here's the best link of the week. Well, it's more of an app than a link, and it's really cool. WhatSpotNow.com is an app that allows you to actually see inside the bar or restaurant before you arrive. Why is it useful? To check to see if a bar or restaurant is empty, crowded, or if it's even open! It's new and only for the iPhone, but I imagine it will eventually hit Android, as well. They're also trying to persuade bars and nightclubs into installing cameras.

Which brings up a good question: Would you feel comfortable eating at a restaurant knowing anyone from around the world could be watching? Check out the site here
