That would be ideal, because I do want to see all the articles and other stuff- but it just becomes too much if its everything.

I often feel like I wanna ask you something, but don't wanna hog-the-blog, and I'm curious what other people ask you that may not get out onto the posts. Good idea?

When is your official launch date? What are the biggest differences between this blogspot blog and the new one that we should be aware of? I personally would be most interested in food feed because then we would get to see what other people are eating too, right? If I joined foodfeed could I post a picture along with the description of what I'm eating? Wow, I’m so excited about your new site!!!! When is your official launch date?

Yes, the main difference between the Twitter stream and the FoodFeed stream is the ‘other’ content, such as news stories and my random conversations with friends. As Matt points out, I tend to Tweet during Lakers games too.

FoodFeed is more focused, but Twitter has richer content.

I probably should have read this post before commenting in the last one again. Oh well...to reiterate it again, I find the full twitter feed is appropriate...for it's diversity of information, such as TwEats, science articles, and up-to-the-minute Laker injuries. Well, maybe not that last one...<br/><br/>One thing I like about this current setup is that I don't have to do any signing in when I am already signed into my google account. It's kind of nifty to know that I can post as myself without having to sign-in again.<br/><br/>While the random words are often hilarious, it's occasionally annoying to type in multiple word verifications. I realize this is to prevent lame posts from uber-obnoxious spambots, but maybe there is some other way around it...<br/><br/>Another thing I've noticed with the "email subscriptions" is occasionally the new posts arrive in my inbox a day after they have been posted on the site. Not sure if this problem is on my end...but it's not really that big of a deal.<br/><br/>I think the categories are very good. How about adding other one called "Ask the Tomato!" or somesuch where readers could submit their own burning questions that may highlighted and answered once a week in a post? Just throwing the idea out there...<br/><br/>As far as navigation goes, I prefer clean and simple. I kind of like how this blog organizes the posts by month...it kind of coincides with the seasons and the latest farmers market produce.<br/><br/>Lastly, more pictures of delicious fruit and vegetables...less pictures of greasy mounds of lard. ;)<br/><br/>I'll let you know if I think of anything else...

And I love following your Tweats, its pretty cool that you actually do it; I could never post what I eat with that kind of consistancy. Its hard to tell the difference between what the food feed and Tweats would be like on your new website; I personally like Tweats/Twitter because I already use Twitter and am familiar with the format, whereas foodfeed just seems separate. But on the other hand foodfeed is an interesting concept of many people writing down what they eat. Plus, I guess on foodfeed you wouldn't necessarily post links to all the other stories that aren't in your blog; tough choice here. I don't know, maybe do both side by side and see what works best!
