Friends and followers are the cornerstone of social media. In fact, I just began following my own blog, just so I don't feel too lonely (does that wind up being some kind of circular reference...bah dum chhhh). Anyway, the art of finding food to try is soliciting the advice of knowledgeable and trusted foodies, or at least people that you trust. FoodFinder's follower functionality allows you to do that very passively.
Following Foodies
When implementing relationships on FoodFinder, we went with following over friending. Friending typically opens up channels of communication and involves initiation and acceptance by the two parties. Following is simply a way to observe. As foodies use the site, they will inevitably run across users they've never met, but whose culinary taste are in line. Who better to observe than someone who has similar taste, but who also runs in different circles. The more foodies of this type that you identify, the easier it will be to find great new places and dishes to try.
Make sense? If so, log on and follow me.
