Food app Burpple takes a cue from Foursquare with location-based friend, restaurant discovery

 

Food journaling app Burpple has furthered its focus on social and location after it introduced Explore, a feature that brings Foursquare-like discovery and friend-finding to the service.

Burpple, for those that are not aware, is a 6-month-old service where food lovers can snap, post and share food/drink-related snaps from their iOS smartphone. It’s based out of Singapore and, as well as English, it has been localized in Chinese and Japanese and integrates with Instagram.

Burpple Explore, which is initially just for the iPhone and iPod Touch, puts photos — which can already be tagged by location — on to a visible map through which users can discover restaurants and tips that have been posted by others.
