Comments on: FoodFeed – What Your Friends Are Eating Now http://www.centernetworks.com/foodfeed-twitter-eating-feeds Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Chris http://www.centernetworks.com/foodfeed-twitter-eating-feeds#comment-18358 Chris Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-18358 Why does anybody care what someone else is eating? Furthermore, why would anybody care that I just had a Nutrigrain bar? This might be one of the most pointless sites on the net. I agree with you that a trainer would want to know what a client is eating but that can be handled with a simple conversation at the gym--not a twitter account. Do you expect them to pick up the phone and yell, "PUT THE CAKE DOWN!" Really a dumb idea for a site. Why does anybody care what someone else is eating?

For a trainer I think it works very well – while I don’t expect the trainer to look at it every moment, it can easily be used as a printable log as a trend. since it’s so easy to post updates versus many of the other food log tools, it should be easier to use. when you are out and about you can tweet in the lunch you are having outside of the home.

Let's look at Facebook as an example. Just recently, I received a friend request from someone I went to high school with. I found out she is now married and actually has a baby. I also learned that she works for a great company in DC in their Human Resources department which could ultimately become a fantastic resource for me if I decide to move back to that region. Does that seem important? Absolutely. Is it important that she had a Sausage Mcmuffin for breakfast? Absolutely not. You know what works great to provide a trainer with a food log? A pen and paper. For the record, that's the method that trainers have relied on for years and I don't see a burning need for that to be changed.
