Get it on iTunes: The Top Pic

As its name suggests, Sloshspot is a website for people looking to have a good time – perhaps too good of a time. Like many sites before it, Sloshspot is an index of bars and nightspots, where users can leave reviews, post photos, and check out other “regulars” of different locales. Venues can maintain their own presence on the site to keep their regulars informed of events and drink specials.

What makes Sloshspot interesting, unique, and maybe a bit of an enabler, is a point system that allows users to earn rewards for more participation on the site. Of course, more participation – like posting photos and comments from a night out at a particular venue – requires more time out on the town.

As you participate more on the site, you move up to different levels – from lightweight, to weekend warrior, to socialite, etc. At each level, you unlock new site features, like things you can add to your profile, and eventually become eligible for prizes like iTunes gift cards and of course, free kegs.

Sloshspot also offers an iPhone app so you can find bars, events, and shows on the go. The app automatically detects your location, then lets you search the database to find something nearby. You can see all of the same data that’s available on the website, like ratings, the regulars, and who’s attending on a given night.

The big competition for Sloshspot would seem to by MySpace, where many venues already maintain their own presence where you can do much of the same, by becoming a “friend” of a given place, checking the event schedule, or leaving comments with your reviews and photos.

Where Sloshspot has a chance to standout is with its reward system and a mobile experience specific to those that can’t get enough of the nightlife. And if those two components can take off, there is certainly money to be made in hyperlocal advertising to a crowd that’s looking to spend money.

James Burgett of ACCRC's skull of junked electronics (photo via Dale Dougherty)

The Alameda County Computer Resource Center could really use your help, as Dale writes on boingboing:

ACCRC is in desperate straits. The Bay Area electronics recycler is going through tough times with an emergency re-org and a lack of funds to pay taxes and healthcare for its employees. Its own internal problems are compounded by a sudden drop in the price of scrap metal. ACCRC has been a friend to Make and Maker Faire, and generally anyone in the Bay Area who uses computers and electronics and wants to make sure they are recycled properly.

The good news about falling metal prices is that scrapyards who couldn't be bothered to sell random bits of metal to Makers may now think otherwise. However, this is a scant silver lining when you consider the effect on recycling businesses that need sane metal prices to stay in business. We're not talking a tiny drop here, either: prices on some metals have dropped 80% in the last 3 months.

Please consider donating to ACCRC here. They're a charitable organization, so you might even be able to get your employer to match it!
