The “Foodie” culture has grown pretty tremendously over the years and mobile has become a big part of it. A subculture to come out of Foodie culture is called Foodspotting. The way it works is simple: take a pic of a delicious meal and share it. With mobile, Foodspotting becomes a helpful and fun way of discovering new food.

Path – Nervous at Home from Path on Vimeo.
Path is an incredibly successful iPhone app that has recently announced it’s coming to BlackBerry and looking for beta testers. The app lets you take pictures and share them with a close network of friends. Whereas Twitter posts pictures to the public for many to see, Path lets you broadcast to a smaller, more intimate group. We haven’t seen the BlackBerry version yet, but the iPhone version features:
- Capture life’s moments in photos or short videos.
- Make your moments more beautiful and personal with Lenses.
- Share with a small group of 50 close friends & family via iPhone, Email, Web, or Facebook.
- Tag your moments with people, places, and things to add context.
- Know who has seen each of your moments.
- Let your friends know how each moment makes you feel with Emotion.
- Have intimate conversations around each moment with Chat.
- Watch your friend’s reactions to your Path roll in with Activity
- Publish the occasional moment on your Facebook Wall for all of your Facebook friends to see.
