Is it a curious fork? Or a furious cork?

While it's not all that nice to be a tease by saying "There's something cool you don't know about, and we're not going to tell you...yet," I couldn't help but bring Curious Fork to our attention.

The website is all of one page. It only has a small form to sign up to be "part of the wildest thing to hit the culinary world." I am quite sure that this is going to be some sort of foray into web 2.0 with a food-focused social network. More than anything though, I love the play on words that's a version of a palindrome, and the anti-mirror imaged logo.

Hurry up Curious Fork. Or Furious Cork. Or whatever you are. We're waiting!

Social network for Italian foodies

Just last week, I posted about FoodCandy, a social networking service for foodies. Today I came across DueSpaghi.it or 2Spaghi, a social network of sorts where users create profiles and post recommendations for restaurants around Italy. None of it is in English, so hopefully your Italian language skills are good. Mine aren't, and so far I've just been reading pages translated by Google. I know, not always accurate, but at least I can get a feel for the service. Users can post comments on restaurants and create a roster of their favorite places, it seems. They have a blog and a small wiki that explains the service. There are also tag clouds of popular search terms, mainly for regions and specialties. Right now, the service appears to have about 150 users.

FoodCandy: "Friendster for Foodies"

FoodCandy is a social networking service for people who like food, a self-described "Friendster for Foodies." Like Friendster or MySpace, there are options for testimonials and galleries of friends, as well as others for food locales. Like eGullet or Chowhound, there are subject- and region-based forums, which have posts dating back to the beginning of the year. It looks like there are just over 400 users at the moment, and I'm curious to see how the site will develop. I have to wonder: if you already use other social networks like MySpace, as well as food forums like eGullet, is there really a need for something like this?
