Her Fab Life makes your life fab

her fab life
The social web continues to explode, and HerFabLife is one of the latest entrants into the arena (not to be confused with "Herbalife," which is what I read thr first time I looked at it).

Though the site is still in "beta" (does a site ever get out of "beta?"), you can register and poke around this "bookmarking community" targetted at "young urban hip and trendy women." It seems that the highlight of the site is fashion and style, but there is a section that's meant for us young, urban hip and trendy Slashfoodies. Users can submit information about the latest restaurant opening, share with other users on the site, make comments, and discover hotspots from other submissions. It's a little sparse right now, with only a handful of restaurants listed for Los Angeles, but then again, they are still in beta.

Is it a curious fork? Or a furious cork?

curious fork, furious corkWhile 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!

WineLog - new online database launched

Just had a cursory play with the new WineLog site. For the technically minded it is a Web 2.0 application but for non-techies another wine note storage database.

Bringing the old wine tasting note database idea fully into the Web 2.0 stylie WineLog allows you to comment, store, share, rate and add wines to a central listing. You can add tags, create your personal log and even send notes to your phone. This latter point I assume is US only.

What is lacking - umm, wine labels (I like a bit of graphic), search by winery, a mass note uploader (like flickr provides) and how about a link to a persons blog... how about if I posted a wine tasting note on spittoon and it automatically appeared under my WineLog via the RSS feed. Now that would be cool.

You can read a brief techies viewpoint, which actually isn't that techie, on winelog at http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/05/24/wine-lovers-now-have-a-web-20-site/

Food bookmarks, Web 2.0 style

Dine 52Continuing the trend on Web 2.0 applications, dine52.com is yet another del.icio.us clone, but this time, with a food oriented theme (which actually makes more sense with a name like del.icio.us, but, I digress). It looks like the service just started recently, so there aren't a massive number of bookmarks yet. But, there were a few interesting items that might warrant a quick look. With these social bookmarking apps, the more people use them, the more useful they will be.

Tip of the Day

December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
