WebDiet is a Web 2.0 service which uses GPS from a mobile phone to find restaurants finding meals based on an individual's personal preferences and caloric needs, recommending meals that don't exceed the specified limits. Unveiled at Chris Shipley's DEMOfall 08 Conference, WebDiet is headquartered in Henderson, NV and led by serial entrepreneur Wendell Brown and bestselling book author Craig Gold, both founders of previous ventures Teleo (acquired by Microsoft in August 2005)) and eVoice (aquired by AOL in July 2001).
