The blog is missing a link to http://grubwithus.com in the header or sidebar.

Funny enough, I work at Grubwithus I just griped about this recently (for startup blogs in general):

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll pass the word along to the blog maintainers.

It would be nice if you could tell if there is any local activity before signing up. I'm not giving a random web site my Facebook or email when most likely no one else local is signed up anyway.

That is very common on startup blogs. I still haven't been able to figure out why. Given how prevalent and obvious it is, it has to be intentional. Or maybe they are all just blindly copying each other and not realizing the person who started the trend made a mistake? lol

It's so common it was listed as mistake #1 on "5 Common Blogging Mistakes Made by Startups:"
