Top 10 Social Networking sites for a Food blogger/Foodie

Don't we all love Myspace, facebook and Orkut? Atleast I do. The social networking sites helps me to find new friends not only friends, it helps me to meet foodies. Foodies are people who love to cook, eat, visit restaurants etc i.e those who love to do anything related to food. Most of the foodies share their experience with others through theirs blogs. This helps us gain knowledge on various other cuisines. But, it is really hard to locate a foodie in a large group of social network which lead to social networks for a niche.

Social Networking is the best way to communicate with people of your niche and if you want to drive your blog's traffic. Blogs have become very famous now a days. 1 in every 5 blog is a food blog. Wow! it really is huge. How to get to know these foodies? How to introduce them to your blog? The answer is through social network.

Networking is the best way to increase traffic to your website. Making new friends not only increases your traffic but also you get a "real friend". I know people who have had great friends through social network with whom they even share their personal problems. hmm... now you are getting the impact of social networks. Good. Why wait. Let me introduce you to the top 10 social networking sites for foodies/Food Blog.(Not in any order)

I like to keep my Facebook account for people I have met in real life. It's a place for me where I can discuss 'not food'. With twitter I am more foodish. But still, people who follow me should expect a fair amount of non-food mixed in.
I think I prefer to connect with food bloggers I don't know through their actual blogs because after all - that is where they put the most effort into their food writing and photography.

I'm terrible with all this social networking stuff. I generally register then can't make out what all the fuss is about...

I'm using Twitter a lot right now, though.

Thank you for posting this! I have been looking for food social networking sites to expand my network, gain friends and help boost traffic to my site and this post really helps a lot. :)

Foodbuzz is a great community I am a member of. People behind it work hard to optimize our satisfaction as foodies. It hasn't been long that I'm a member on there - but quickly I've formed my own circle of friends some of which are already regulars that keep me company. If it weren't for a website like Foodbuzz, it'd be difficult to connect with fellow foodies. Thanks for listing it!

EatPost said...

Hi,

We just launched a new food review site called eatpost.com It was developed a couple of months ago by my friend and I who are huge foodies. After eating out for so long, we were inspired to make a site where people can share their thoughts on food they've eaten and sort of enlighten others on the good and bad dishes out there at various restaurants.

This is our first site, so please be kind. Any feedback on how to make the site better is greatly appreciated. We are all ears. Here's to hoping you find the site fun and useful.

Thanks for sharing this list. I have joined about 2 of them as well as a new foodie social network called http://foodiefriends.com that isn't listed.

It would be cool to have an iphone app that shows foodie recommendations near where you are.

Demetre Politis Biography

Award winning Real Estate professional Demetre Politis has over 26 years of experience selling Real Estate in the U.S. and Canada, Demetre now focuses in Greece and the rest of Europe with a vast knowledge of many areas and their differing realities.

After having graduated with honours in the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science Pharmacy programs at the University of Toronto, Demetre shifted his career direction. His reason for delving into real estate was because it offered him the opportunity to explore what he loves most about homes: architecture, design, business and the art of selling. His passion has certainly lead him to success as Demetre reached the TOP 1% AT REMAX. Since then Demetre has opened his own brokerages, Realty Show Time and Wrenwood Realty and is now the Broker of Record/Owner of his own companies.

I look after ɑ vape store web directory https://allvapestores.com ɑnd ѡе have hhad a
posting fгom a vapee store іn tthe USΑ thɑt also advertises CBD items.
A Calendar mοnth late on, PayPal has contacted
uѕe to say that our account has been limited and have aked us to remove PayPal ass а
payment method froom оur vape store web directory.
Ꮃe do not retail CBD products sᥙch as CBD oil.
We ⲟnly provide advertising and marketing services to CBD companies.
I hаve looked ijto Holland & Barrett-- tһe UK's Reputable Health Retailer ɑnd іf yօu take
a good loоk, you will witness that they promote а someѡһat comprehensive range оf CBD product lines, partіcularly CBD oil aand tһey aⅼѕo һappen tо takе PayPal as a settlement method.
Іt emerges thɑt PayPal is employing twos sets оf rules tto different firms.
Due to this constraint, І cann nno lοnger accept PayPal on my CBD-related internet site.
Thiss һas constricted myy payment choices and now, І am
heavily dependent on Cryuptocurrency payments and direct bank transfers.
Ӏ havе checked ѡith a barrister frⲟm a Magic Circle law practicce inn London ɑnd they stated tһɑt ᴡhat PayPal is undertaking is ɑbsolutely illegal
and discriminatory ɑs іt ѕhould ƅе applying an uniform standard tto alll firms.
Ӏ аm still to seek advice from ɑn additional legal representative fгom a US law firm in Thе city
of london tߋ seee what PayPal's legal position іѕ іn tһe UႽA.
For the time bеing, I ѡould ƅe highly appreciative iff ɑnybody һere
ɑt blogger.cߋm could offer mе ѡith substitute payment processors/merchants
tһat dea with CBD firms.

I've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours.
It is beautiful price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content
material as you did, the net can be a lot more helpful than ever before.
