toronto.OurFaves.com - T.O. Gets Networked

T Dot, as local Torontonians are fond of calling their blustery city, has recently spawned OurFaves a social networking cum local search directory slash poster board for the city. So if you´re looking to find exactly where the Four Season´s aboding celebs are dining in Hollywood North, or what´s new in Kensington Market, or who´s playing at Sneaky Dee´s, this site is bound to have all the goods. On the homepage you´ll find featured peeps and their fave places, along with the most popular places to date. Faves are added in real time so you know what´s really in and hip day by day. The site is bright and has a clean vibe to it. Members can add comments and Flickr photos. To add your faves you have to be a member, but it is free to join.

“Ever asked a friend to recommend an amazing tapas bar, lush lounge, or phenomenal record store?

The site is much better than any outdated tour guide. It´s local real time info; plus the site has already got a good deal of information about the city.

This site ultimately depends on its users. How many will it attract? Will Toronto hipsters be interested in contributing, giving a more in depth view of the city?
