After eating the best meal of your life, it's hard to forget the experience. It's not unusual for individuals to spend a decade in search of the perfect New York-style pizza in California or the best ramen in London. At this level of obsession, you simply can't be satiated by reading menus or scouring the blurry restaurant pictures and user-generated diatribes of regular review sites. Whether you've got a fixation on fresh lobster ragoût or a hankering for hickory smoked ham, Foodspotting lets hungry users peruse through what can only be described as food porn.

Founded by Adaptive Path UI designer Alexa Andrzejewski and Get Satisfaction engineer Ted Grubb, Foodspotting lets users upload photos of their favorite dishes along with a restaurant address. In Posterous-style fashion, you can also email your finds to food@foodspotting.com. From here you can rate dishes and users, add additional details, earn reputation points and follow places, dishes and community members. The difference between Foodspotting and Yelp is that every review is a positive one. Instead of showcasing restaurant rants, Foodspotting offers a visual menu of customer favorites.

foodspotting_iphoneapp_nov09a.jpgReadWriteWeb got an early look at the duo's upcoming iPhone application. Set for release in early 2010, foodies will be awarded points for their uploads as well as the particular foods they've tried. In Foursquare, users become the "Mayor" of a particular establishment, but in Foodspotting users become the "Champion" of their favorite dishes. And because so many towns are famous for a particular dish, you're likely to see stiff competition for the "Champion" of Maine lobster or Chicago hot dogs. Users will also compete to collect dishes through scavenger hunts and a food passport system. In the future, as we begin to record more dishes, the system will amass our flavor profiles. These profiles will later form the basis for a dish-related recommendation system.

While the mobile application will not hit the market for at least a month, Foodspotting is well on its way to offering salivating diners a chance to discover nearby favorites on a per-dish basis. To register for the site's early alpha visit foodspotting.com/ilovefood.

Die 47. KW des Jahres 2009 hat begonnen, und damit ein zweisprachiger Post, der die Besten der Besten feiert! Zumindest meine Besten... Egal ob Lied oder Film oder Künstler: Jeder, der es verdient hat, kann sich hier wiederfinden. Und auch egal ob taufrisch oder uralt: hauptsache gut! Denn das hier ist ein Best Of,  und nicht die Plattform irgendwelcher Meinungsmacher...

Week 47 in 2009 has just begun, and this is also the beginning of a bilingual post featuring the best of the best (at least in my opinion). Whether song, or film or artist: simply everybody can be mentioned here, if he fits in the list! Whether right from the press or a hundred years old: I don't care, as long as it's good. Remember: this is a 'Best Of' and not a 'Post what the media told you'!

Bestes Lied / Best song: Rabbit in your headlight (UNKLE feat. Thom Yorke) > verstörend haunting genial brilliant

Bester Film / Best Feature Film: Donnie Darko (Regie / Director: Richard Kelly) > hypnotisch awesome faszinierend thought provoking

Beste Disney-Figur / Best Disney character: Donald Duck > Loser der Herzen Men's favorite loser

Beste Erfindung 1901-2000 / Best Invention 1901-2000: Penicillin (1928, Sir Alexander Fleming) > Nuff said!

Bestes Jahr 1901-2000 / Best Year 1901-2000: 1973 > Das Jahr meiner Geburt! The year of my birth!

Beste Comedy / Best Comedy: Marx Brothers > Nuff said!

Bester Politiker / Best Politician: Barack Obama > Hoffnung Hope Freiheit Freedom Fortschritt Progress

So, das war's für diese Woche. Vielleicht gibt es in ein paar Tagen die Schlechtesten der Schlechten! Maybe there will be a 'Worst Of' at the week's end!

Tous les jours, des doigts tremblants pressent un bouton "Publier" et envoient sur le Net textes, photos ou vidéos en scandant un étrange mantra : "Pourvu que ça buzze, pourvu que ça buzze, pourvu que ça buzze…"

 

Alors, tout de suite, petit topo au cas où vous parleriez l’anglais comme un président de la République française : aucun rapport avec le rapace diurne de la famille des Accipitridae. Le mot magique sur Internet, c’est le "buzz", l’équivalent anglais de ce "bzz" que font les abeilles.

 

Le buzz, c’est donc ce bourdonnement, ce murmure qui se propage et fait de votre message ou de votre création "le sujet dont on cause". Certains pensent qu’il y a des méthodes pour y parvenir. C’est parfois vrai, et quand quelqu’un en trouve une, elle est copiée de partout jusqu’à ce que la bonne idée finisse par donner envie de vomir. Par exemple, il fut un temps où il fallait faire un "lipdub" : on passe de la musique et on fait semblant de chanter dessus. Comme ça, on montre à quel point on est sympa et on a des super bureaux chez AOL France, par exemple :

 

 

Attention, donc, le buzz se double souvent de visées publicitaires. Oui, je sais, c’est dur à encaisser. Parfois, certains poussent le machiavélisme jusqu’à faire des vidéos qui auront un succès infernal pour vendre une musique abominable, comme le groupe Make The Girl Dance qui, il y a quelques mois, a fait se balader trois nanas à poil dans la rue Montorgueil en pleine journée et pourri 6 millions de fois (!) les oreilles de ceux qui ont voulu se rincer l’œil.

 

 

Oui, le buzz peut aussi être mauvais. N’ayez pas peur, comme disait Jean-Paul, on en reparle bientôt.

Most hogy a VH1 délelőtti top 10-je a Texas-ról szólt, (és persze mi más az első, mint az Black eyed boy, aztán I don't want a lover, majd Say what you want, de ez a 4., yeah), nanáhogy ezt most ide, végtelenített lejátszásra, a legszebb énekesnőt. Az egyik legjobb klippet, dalt, meg egyáltalán. Imádom, a tánc a benzinkúton zseniálás, kifejező, gyönyörú. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ahogy jár. Ahogy Alan Rickman nézi az autóban. Hajnalodik. Ahogy ránéz búcsúzáskor. Egymásra. És most megint.

A sperma az élet vize?

A sperma egyik összetevője feltartóztathatja a sejtek öregedését - fedezte fel két osztrák kutató.

Most akkor ez a termelőnek jó, vagy?

Mid way through I ripped a good fart. We were a new couple at the time so it was either apologize or go with it.

I went for it and yelled TURBO BOOST!!! Had to pause for a bit though for her to catch her breath.

The funniest Vonnegut quote:

"Like all real heroes, Charley had a fatal flaw. He refused to believe that he had gonorrhea, whereas the truth was that he did."
