FoodieView.com, the web's leading recipe search engine, has launched a new restaurant guide, collecting reviews from newspapers, magazines, review sites, and food bloggers. The dining guide includes information about awards and average ratings to help visitors find promising restaurants quickly. Users can write their own reviews, and create restaurant lists with maps, which can be embedded into blogs. Looking for restaurant reviews using a search engine can yield a lot of pages with nothing but an address and phone number. Diners looking for restaurant information may not realize that lots of good information is buried much later in the search results. FoodieView combines links to reviews in one place to make it easier to find real restaurant reviews from both big and small sites. "I don't think one site should be the final arbiter of taste," said FoodieView founder Howie Wang. "Many people just read restaurant reviews from the local paper, and never discover all the great food blog reviews with lots of high-quality pictures."

URL: http://www.DailyPainters.com The artists of the Daily Painters Gallery have been busy. Since September 2006, they've posted over 10,000 original paintings to their online gallery at DailyPainters.com. From June 15 to July 15, 2007, they will be attempting a new group record: 2,000 paintings in 30 days. The members of DailyPainters.com represent a growing movement in the art world, known as 'daily painting' or 'painting-a-day'. These artists strive to produce one small painting every day, or nearly so, and post them for sale on their online gallery. Even with all of their other commitments -- art fairs, gallery commitments, commission paintings, full-time jobs, and other demands of everyday life, these artists love their daily painting routine. It's a great way to stay fresh and stay focused, and it's fun, even if it is a lot of hard work. And, art collectors can't get enough of it. The Daily Painters Gallery is a great place for art collectors, decorators, and homeowners to find affordable original art and discover new painters.
