Right now, neither of them are. With that much runway, the goal is likely to drive traffic, get a large user base, then find a path to monetization. Maybe Pinterest will succeed, m…

Even better, check out the github repo, then set it up with passenger. https://github.com/defunkt/hurl Makes local api testing a breeze.

This was a really quick build using Rails and jquery. We're using Foursquare & Google places APIs, as well as our own set of "cool attractions". We use the Google directions API fo…
