We could bring down entire cell networks with people sending videos from concerts nearly live. :) After trying the phone number thing last night at dinner, I will partially retract my comment. In an SMS environment where you have a (usually) unique key that is easy to enter on a 12 key keypad, phone number works. Longer term, though, I suspect that this will be rolled into a browser-based service. In that case, I'd rather just see a list of places near my location and pick. (Though this may be difficult in ultradense locations like Times Square.) Not just real-time reviews, but pictures, too.

I actually think that dinner@ may not be that cumbersome. After all, you are sitting in the restaurant and you usually have menu in front of you or drink list and they always have restaurant phone number printed on them. Talk about real-time food review (as you eat it) directly from the restaurant :) Good point on sending actionable data via SMS. I actually think that dinner@ may not be that cumbersome.
