Food Blog Aggregators (US/CAD)



FOODBUZZ is a U.S.-based "blog aggregator." It aggregates, organizes and curates nearly 2 million blog posts from 10,000 food blogs worldwide. It allows visitors to share their passion for food and dining. It helps food bloggers to platform blogs and monetize their traffics. Also it provides marketing solutions for hundreds of food brands. To prove its powerful standing online:

-10 million global unqie users
-Top 3 Online Food Property
-Growing 15% per month
-Curate 1.7 million pieces of food content
In addition, it has won 2009 WEBBY AWARDS Nominee, OMMA AWARDS for Excellence, and WEBAWARD.

Benefit: Since it is pretty well-known site, tagging the widget, FOODBUZZ, on your blog will increase the credibility of your own blog. And if your posts get on the top lists, you will get an extra tag-widget of recognition.



FOODBLOGS is also a "blog aggregator." The contents on the site are in the view of external blog writers not FOODBLOG or its administerators. It basically provides the service of convenience to visitors: aggregating blog posts into a central site for easy filtering process to personalize information. You can:

-Keep up with your favorite blog
-Discover new food blogs
-Block food blogs you choose not to follow
-Search through thousands of food blogs to find your interest

Benefit: What makes it apart from other blog aggregator is strong customized usability: you can tag, save and organize as well as block the posts you choose. You can also post your own blog to increase the chance of online presence as well as of winning the top blog ranking.

Final Thoughts: What makes these blogs different from other dining review sites is more pictures, and the storyline of dining experience as opposed to the message from extreme opposite ends. I feel more related to writer's review since I get to know the writer's tastes better.
