Combining Yelp & Twitter For Foodies, Fondu?s Redesign Beefs Up Recommendations, Discovery

At TechCrunch Disrupt NYC last year, Gauri Manglik, Mike Lewis, and Orion Burt launched SpotOn, a recommendation engine in app, which served its users suggested local businesses based on their friends' activity on Foursquare, Facebook, and more. The co-founders quickly found, however, that its customers were using the app more as a social networking tool than for its recommendations. So, based on user feedback, the team changed directions and built a new app, today called Fondu. Fast-forward to the present, and Fondu has officially launched a redesign that, among its new features, shows that the app is getting serious about friend-powered restaurant search and discovery.
