Open Source Food: a social network for food lovers


MySpace, Facebook, and Friendster are great if you're looking for general interest social networking. But Open Source Food shows that sometimes niche is where it's at.

Open Source Food is a community site for food lovers and cooks, both amateur and professional. If you're looking for a little inspiration, you can browse through the beautifully photographed images or search the site for recipes. It's a little baffling that you have to click on the "food" tab to get a search bar, but since the site is as focused on community as it is on food, maybe that makes some sense.

Registered users can upload images and recipes, comment on others' recipes, ask questions, or add suggestions. Open Source Food is like a Web 2.0 cookbook, and we mean that in the best possible way.
