Foodista Blog

About US

August 7th, 2008 by Barnaby Dorfman · 5 Comments · Print This Post

As our readership has grown, a number of people have asked: “Beyond the blog, what are you building?” Well here’s a bit more info for you curious folks…

Foodista will:

  • be a great place to learn about food and cooking; and
  • provide easy ways to share your food interests and knowledge with the world.

“How?” you ask…We are building a site that uniquely combines:

  1. Great search of foods, recipes, cooking tools and techniques; like IMDb does for movies;
  2. Community editing; a la Wikipedia; and
  3. Widgets/tools for sharing it all anywhere on the web, especially on food blogs, similar to what Flickr & Youtube make possible with images.

We now have a fantastic team in place, including a stylin’ designer and an innovative web developer. A couple of other fun developments include great networking at Blogher, and growing traffic…we recently broke into the 100K top websites at Alexa…pretty good for a pre-launch blog!

Above all, we are building Foodista for you. Send your thoughts and ideas for the best possible food website to ideas@foodista.com.

Cheers,

Sheri, Colin, and Barnaby

    Wow! I haven’t checked in for awhile. Lots of things have been happening at Foodista. I’m looking forward to what your web designer comes up with. If you are considering a new logo I vote for the one you have. It’s a good one.
