7 travel apps you should have on your phone during your next vacation

Last month, OpenTable acquired <keyword id="1591219" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Foodspotting">Foodspotting</keyword>, a company cofounded by <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/sorayadarabi">Soraya Darabi</a>, for $10 million.
Darabi left the company a few months prior and has said she's working on a new project. No one has really known what it is -- until now.
The entrepreneur and angel investor was mentioned today in a <a href="http://betabeat.com/2013/02/soraya-darabi-form-d-zady-maxine-kaye-sec-filing-new-startup/">Form D filing uncovered by BetaBeat.</a> According to the filing, Darabi's name is tied to a new startup named <a href="http://www.zady.com">Zady</a>.
The form says Zady has raised $1.35 million, but it doesn't offer much more insight into Darabi's idea. A source tells us NEA led the round and Darabi worked a bunch of her angel connections to get the deal done. 
The source also describes Zady as an ecommerce company that's like Etsy. Darabi's last company, Foodspotting, was an app that displayed pictures of local menu items. Maxine Kaye is Darabi's co-founder; the pair have known each other for a long time.
Darabi first made a name for herself at The New York Times where she ran its digital and social media efforts. She's pretty talented when it comes to social media. Darabi has amassed more than <a href="https://twitter.com/sorayadarabi">400,000 Twitter followers herself.</a>
<a href="https://twitter.com/sorayadarabi"></a>But at Foodspotting, her social talents may have backfired. Some say she was brought on as an retroactive cofounder, then forced to leave because she stole face time without doing much to help run the company. It will be interesting to see how Darabi does in the CEO seat this time around.

<div class="image-container float_right click-to-enlarge" style="width:362px"><div class="image"><a title_source="Facebook" title_caption="The real foodspotting action is on Instagram and Facebook." class="zoomin" href="http://static4.businessinsider.com/image/51096e2a69beddcb6300001f-960/cheesecake-factory-facebook-photos.png"></a></div>FacebookThe real <keyword id="1591219" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Foodspotting">foodspotting</keyword> action is on <keyword id="819905" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Instagram">Instagram</keyword> and Facebook.</div>Instagram snaps of the delicious meal you're about to eat are such a cliché, they played a starring role in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/college-humor-instagram-parody-2012-12">CollegeHumor's hilarious takedown</a> of the Facebook-owned photo-sharing site.
But for restaurateurs, these pics are no joke: People are taking a massive number of photos of food, and Instagram's Photo Map feature instantly shows what's being served at a restaurant. That was the rationale behind <keyword id="349615" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="OpenTable">OpenTable</keyword>'s $10 million acquisition of Foodspotting this week.
New numbers reported by MomentFeed, a startup that helps brands manage location pages on services like Facebook and Foursquare, show what a huge phenomenon this is.
It's not limited to fancy, upscale restaurants in San Francisco and New York; people are taking huge numbers of photos in chain restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory and PF Chang's.
In an 18-day period studied at the end of 2012, users posted 4,899 photos tagged with a Cheesecake Factory location on Instagram. (MomentFeed only analyzed place-tagged photos, not comments or hashtags.)
Those numbers destroy what's happening on Foodspotting, a service dedicated to this particular art form. Instagram had 40 times the number of photos taken at Chevy's locations versus Foodspotting. At Texas Roadhouse, the ratio was 22 times. And those numbers are typical for most chain restaurants.
<keyword id="86061" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Yelp">Yelp</keyword> has long offered the ability to upload photos alongside reviews. But a <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-cheesecake-factory-san-francisco-2">spotcheck of the Cheesecake Factory location in downtown San Francisco</a>, a Yelp stronghold, shows 564 photos posted over the past six years. The pace of posting has picked up recently, boosted by Yelp's mobile app. Our rough estimate shows Instagram users posting two to three times more frequently at Cheesecake Factory locations.
"It's obvious Instagram is the real Foodspotting," MomentFeed CEO Rob Reed told Business Insider. "That's why Foodspotting stalled and were acquired. Vertically focused apps don't make it."
We don't think OpenTable bought Foodspotting for its photo database, of course—it's more about bringing mobile and social talent into the company and setting them loose on OpenTable's larger user base. But even then, Instagram has such a huge head start on food photos, we're not sure how OpenTable will ever catch up.
What's the implication for Facebook? Huge, if it can tie the photos together with Graph Search and location pages.
While Graph Search is currently limited, one thing it can do right now is show all the photos taken at a particular location. 
Foodspotting and Yelp both excel at offering detailed information about restaurants. On Foodspotting, users tag photos with specific dishes, while on Yelp, they can write free-form reviews whose text can be mined for insights and relevancy.
But most people are visual, and photos mean more to them. At San Francisco's Cheesecake Factory, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Cheesecake-Factory/107178672654937">there are more than 1,000</a> photos already—and Instagram promises to funnel far more into the maw of Facebook's voracious data machine. 
 Facebook can also show friends who have been there. Those links, together with photos, constitute a far more visceral kind of recommendation than OpenTable or Yelp, with their much smaller user bases, can currently offer.
So the combination of photos and friends—Facebook's basic formula—could prompt more local advertisers to take Facebook seriously as an advertising vehicle, if they aren't doing so already.
The only real threat to Facebook comes from Foursquare. At the Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco, Foursquare has 890 user photos. And Instagram currently relies on Foursquare to tie location data to specific businesses; users can simultaneously post Instagram photos to Facebook and Foursquare.
Then again, Facebook could well switch Instagram from Foursquare's places database to its own. And as local-business search gets more and more important, it's hard to imagine Facebook isn't thinking about that.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>Soraya Darabi, 31, and Maxine Bédat, 32, celebrated their startup's first anniversary this week, but the two are not sitting back and relaxing just yet.
The slow-fashion startup, called <a href="https://zady.com/">Zady</a>, is rolling out its first private label, one product at a time - beginning with a knit wool sweater.
Darabi and Bédat started Zady because they were frustrated by the fashion industry at large and wanted to do something to change the way clothing was manufactured, sold, and bought. This idea of slow fashion - timeless clothing that is produced ethically and sustainably - really spoke to the two women.
"Slow fashion to us is reverting back to an era where things were done better," Darabi told Business Insider. "In our office we joke, 'Slow food, or as our grandparents used to call it, food.' The same joke can be made with apparel. 
"America was once known for its manufacturing and its emphasis on craftsmanship and ability to make things well. The majority of the fashion industry has moved its production overseas. It's about slowing down and thinking about process."
Zady, or the "Whole Foods of fashion" as they like to think of themselves, focuses on both the materials of the clothing as well as the process by which it was made. They're looking to make the industry more transparent, helping consumers better understand where their clothing is coming from.
Neither Darabi nor Bédat come from a fashion background, but they both bring various skills to the table. Darabi has already succesfully founded another startup called Foodspotting, which she <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/29/opentable-to-acquire-foodspotting-for-10-million/?_php=true&amp;_type=blogs&amp;_r=0">sold to OpenTable for $10 million</a>. And Bédat has a background in in international law and development, having most recently started a nonprofit called <a href="http://thebootstrapproject.com/">The Bootstrap Project</a>, which helps artisans from impoverished areas preserve their craft traditions.
Over the year, Zady has partnered with brands and designers who promote the same values of sustainability and slow-fashion, but now Zady has decided to get in on the production side too. 
The first product Zady will sell, the knit wool sweater, is made of all-natural materials, including wool from the Imperial Stock Ranch in Shaniko, Oregon, a farm that uses a conservation management plan to make sure that it has a positive impact on the environment. The wool will be treated, dyed, and manufactured all in the U.S., which has the highest standards for ethics and sustainability.
"The idea for us in producing our own line was to take our learnings from the brands we've curated over the past year and focus on what we think the brand of the future will look like," Darabi said.
The brands that are featured on Zady all share information about the process of how their clothing was made, but with their own line, Zady will be able to really divulge all of the details they want about how the clothing.
While Zady has had a successful first year, its founders are aware of the challenges, tackling such a large industry.
"Retailers are producing things in really horrific ways," Darabi said. "Our challenge as a small startup was to overcome the goliath that is the current state of the fashion industry."
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>
The cofounders' interest in slow fashion and sustainability dates all the way back to their years together in high school, when they first started thinking about where products come from and how laborers were treated. Darabi even started a club called the Human Rights Advocates, where she asked fellow students to tear out the labels on their clothing to show solidarity with laborers.
"We were excited when H&amp;M first opened, and I think we both had wonderful discussions about that buying lifestyle - especially with small New York apartments, we had closets overflowing with stuff that was falling apart and we always felt like we had nothing to wear," Bédat told Business Insider. "As we got started on the project and learning how things were made we started sending articles back and forth about the problems in the supply chain, about people being mistreated that are making the final product to environmental issues, there are so many problems with the current system of production that it was shocking that we didn't know these things before."
Now the two are thrilled to be able to make an impact with Zady.
"It's inspiring to be part of this community," Bédat said. "We're going to be able to see when we turn to this new way, this slow fashion way, we'll be able to feel great about our clothing, feel better about the environment, and dress better."
