Thing # 6

I chose to visit and review the site OpenTable only because I randomly clicked on it.

I wrote that sentence before I really looked at the site. Now that I've visited it I can say that I have absolutely no idea how I would possibly ever use this in a class setting, unless I was teaching the class it was possible to get a reservation, online.

Outside of no real use in a school setting (unless I was making a reservation during my lunch break for a dinner that I had forgotten about) I'm not entirely sure I like the site itself. The home page is kind of bland, but I suppose it's easy to navigate. When I clicked onto the Nashville site the page became a little more polished looking. It's easy to navigate. There are clear sections for reviews, you're able to easily view all the Nashville restaurants they provide this service for. It's free.

Would I use it? Probably not. I think in the past five years I've only called a restaurant once to see about reserving a table and that was only because it was a fairly large group on a Saturday afternoon -- even then they told me I didn't need to make a reservation. For someone who does make a ton of reservations, or at least likes to have the option to do so, this site would be useful. It's made itself even more useful by becoming an app for your smartphone.
