First of all I would like to congratulate you on your blog. I love seeing people reaching out and offering advice and guidance to others, especially if using the internet as a medium. Also, as an ex-pat myself, I find your blogs not only entertaining, but helpful as well… and I appreciate your point of view as a “neurotic foreigner”!

I am from Atlanta, Georgia but am now living in Monterrey working for a new start-up called Conekta (http://conekta.mx). It’s a platform for recommendations of the best businesses in all of the cities in Mexico, including restaurants of course. Conekta was founded by a group of engineers from the University of Waterloo and is supported by investors in San Francisco (www.mexican.vc). You can check us out on http://thenextweb.com/la/2012/01/05/how-the-mexican-yelp-conekta-mx-managed-to-list-over-1-million-businesses/ as well as http://www.eluniversal.com.mx/graficos/pdf11/tu_negocio_ok.pdf.

I would like to offer you an elite user account in return for making recommendations on our page. An elite account means that your reviews will be the first to appear on a business’ page in addition to having a link to your blog or web page on all of your comments. Also, you would have a Conekta profile with your information and a title below your name of something like “Critico Profesional de Restaurantes”.

Please check out our page and let us know what you think!
Cheers!
