It's an application Tony Soprano would love. Say you have up to four mob bosses, all from different families, who want to have a special sit-down meeting. All four men have huge egos and their reputations to protect among their own soldiers, so each wants to travel as short a distance as possible to meet the others. They need a
happy median, which happens to be the name of a new Web 2.0 application. Plunk-in addresses or zipcodes for up to four people and the site will tell you where to meet, which might be a place that surprises you. Now if only they would extend the metaphor a bit further to allow you to specify the TYPE of place you'd like to meet, which in the case of our example would of course be the Italian restaurant nearest the epicenter. Try a cannoli, they're
squisiti.
