Pixel City
The original idea for this came from Hi-Res!’ Meet Your City website for Nokia. When I’m going to a new city I always trawl through endless lists on websites beforehand, to find out where to go out and where the good shops are. Timeout guides are great for general information, but I’ve lost count of the times I’ve tried to go to a club they’ve recommended and its shut down. The best I’ve found is superfuture, but you still have to go through all the links to find exactly what you want. (They do have a new ‘megasite’ in construction though, so maybe this will improve things.)
The idea is that you select options from the submenu to specify which venues show up, for example you might what to find a moderately priced club that plays dance music and serves real ale (although I doubt there would be many results for that!).
Something that I am considering at the moment is how this could include user input, superfuture listings can be added by users. The problem with this would be that it would rely on users inputting correct information in to all of the categories. There could be a community side to the site, and some entries could be filtered through to the main page.
