Nom.ms - Tweet About The Food That You Eat

When did Twitter become mainstream? Was it the week when Kutcher and CNN raced to the top? Or was it the day Oprah sent her first live tweet? You know, I dare say that we noticed how truly massive Twitter had become when a series of pointless apps began surfacing. For instance, I came across a couple of apps that collated updates of those who had just been to the toilet, and there was even one that let the tweeter inform everybody that he had just thrown up. Of course, we do not review that kind of apps because they are not only a waste of time, they are vulgarizing the concept of tweeting as a whole. And that marks the status of mainstream if you ask me: when something begins being vulgarized.

This particular app does not fall in that category, yet it is something we could easily do without. It enables the user to post pictures of the food he has eaten or eats regularly. The one use this has is that if you have friends located worldwide (the rule and not the exception when it comes to the WWW) you can learn more about them and their cultures without having to conduct a search or opening a Wikipedia page. In that sense, the app has some value. But under no concept will it make you the talk of the party, or get invited to the party for that matter.

“Tweet what you eat.”

It can let you know more about the people you meet up online, and come to grips with some aspects of their cultures.

How can this site broaden its scope?
