I’m not really a food blogger anymore, even though I have a food category here. And, very honestly, I dumped almost all of the food blogs I used to read out of my Google Reader subscriptions about a year ago. There are gazillions of them out there, but hardly any that are worth reading, and I already had enough recipes that I was never going to get around to making anyway.
But if you’re a food blogger here in the Boston area (and I *know* some of you are), you might want to have a look at Boston Food Bloggers. It’s a social networking site powered by Ning.com, which offers you the opportunity to put together your own social networking site a la Facebook using their tools, servers, etc. I notice our friend Chef Jo has jumped on board, but some of the other local foodie types I would have expected to see there have not signed up yet. Oh, well, it’s obviously pretty new, and I’m sure once word gets out they’ll all be there.
I doubt that I’ll join, but I’ll probably look back in on them in a month or so to see how they’re coming along.

It’s time to stop trotting out the same blurry videotape of cars stuck on Rt. 128 that is older than some of the people who are actually on your broadcast, just so we [...]
It’s going to be a long two months waiting for the iPad to actually ship so that all the tech bloggers and their hangers-on will stop writing so much speculative bullshit about iT and turn their attention iNstead to some other thing that’s going to Change Life As We Know iT. Since you cannot click [...]
Please, please, PUH-LEEZE stop talking about “What do we call the last decade?” Nobody could come up with an acceptable choice ten years ago, and nobody’s going to come up with one now. “Aughties” and “Naughties” are contrived and stupid, and so is the very idea that anything wraps up all nice and neatly into [...]
I’m really not sure what it is going to have to offer over and above what I get from other spaces and places, but I thought I would hop on-board and see. Report later.
