Facebook Plunges Again
Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
FoodFeed - tell the world what you eat. Srsly.
Yes. It's true. Now, you can broadcast to the world what you eat, want to eat, feel like eating (hey, let's keep it clean) on a site dedicated to doing just that, called FoodFeed. We guess there's no end in sight to the banal, continuous, slog of bytes that people feel they must ingest and digest too.
Among the amazing features FoodFeed offers is the ability to search by yes, you guessed it - Food! Now you can put a search term in like, say, chicken, and bingo - everyone who has eaten chicken pops up. Wow. After you scroll through all the exciting chicken eating people, you'll probably either a). want to find all the beef eating people b). throw up or c). find some other place to explore on the interwebs or d). go outside and get some fresh air.
If you must tell everyone what is on your plate, well you can set up a feed, but first you need a Twitter account. Just add "having" as a friend on Twitter. Then check your feed out at "http://username.foodfeed.us." You can post by sending tweets to @having (showing up in your Twitter updates) or d having (not showing up in your Twitter updates).
What do you think? Do you think people are interested in your food itinerary? Are you riveted to others' food moods?

Cool, I am interested in hearing about what's good to eat from the people on my Twitter friends list ( In fact I already do ), but I am not so sure I want to hear what strangers are eating. There needs to be a filter of some kind I guess ( "show only people in my area, who are also writing Yelp reviews for the same restaurant" )...
...otherwise "no" I don't wish to hear about someone's affinity for tripe or how their foie gras is undercooked. And no, don't do a mash-up with TwitPic so I can see what you are eating too. Barf!

hairdoing.com is a site that tracks haircuts across twitter and flickr

Wow. By contrast, that makes FoodFeed almost compelling.

I am into this for one reason and one reason only. I am getting ready to start losing weight. I am going to use the internet for accountability. I am posting my weight, my progress, and what I am eating. This way I can post directly to Twitter and track it. Perfect for my purposes.
If I wasn't going to be doing that though....... I would not be using it. Let's hope it lasts long enough for me to use it...

This would be a great tool for people losing weight, people looking for new and interesting foods to eat and people who just like to see what other people are doing.

I know this is not the forum, but you have an audience and you might want to do something. I received the following email from a friend, I'm stumped for a response and would like to ask a wider forum.
Hello from Addis Abeba
Hello, I am in Addis now, I came back here by UN flight on friday.
I am really really tired, and have diarrhea and vomiting, I need a rest.
Kebri Dehar which is our field is amazing place!
They don't have enough water and food.
Now it is the end of dry season, they have a serious water problem.
What I feel durig 2 weeks is that they need food and water than medication.
I gave they medicine but there is no water to take medicine!
We drive a car to get to health post for about 2 hours, I saw a lot of animalsl camel, cow, goutsare ding because of lack of water and food!
You can imagine that many people died from starving, but they never go to health post, so we don't know..
Although There are a lot of things that we can do for them, we have to stop our mission for a while.
By the way, Please send me a mail to this adress.
I don't need something to send for me, but I need your warm mail.
