Thrillist is out with its “local lifestyle” iPhone app, which at start is sponsored by Bacardi’s new Torched Cherry flavored rum.
If you’ve visited the Thrillist website, you can guess for yourself what their app is all about. If you haven’t, here’s a snippet from the press release, explaining the app instead of me:
A supplement to Thrillist’s free daily email and website, Thrillist for iPhone narrows down the dizzying scope of your city with Thrillist’s handpicked eating, drinking and shopping recommendations. Users can search, sort and share articles from Thrillist’s extensive vault of local content, all organized by the nearest, newest and most popular places.
In addition, the application also rocks Thrillist Video clips, ability to save and sync articles to “My Thrillist,” share tools for Facebook, Twitter and email, Foursquare check-in, and several mini-games, all in the “style and irreverent tone trusted by Thrillist’s 2 million plus readers.”
In terms of geography, Thrillist comes with coverage of Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. — with additional markets launching in the fall.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
