I saw Harry Potter on Wednesday night, but that’s not what this is about. It’s about the new version of Unthirsty. The happy hour map has added some social features, and they’re good.
Oh, and they have an iPhone version for you. Ya digg?
Yes, I am still using the web to plan my binges. And remember how much I liked the first version of Unthirsty. They’ve done better.
Before you say how me-too and blasé social features are, take a look back at my social website rules. Unthirsty hits them all, but they especially get the part where they make it useful for me, regardless of whether other people are using the site.
Looking for what happy hours are happening right now has always been a great feature of Unthirsty. Now they narrow the scope, just to my few favorite spots. I can see at a glance which of my haunts is in happy hour.
Since the site is useful to me, and since happy hours are naturally social, I actually find myself wanting a way to connect to my friends. In this day when everyone seems to be asking me to add people as contacts, it’s refreshing to see a site where that feature would actually be beneficial.
