Lunch

The other day, I received an email inviting me to join a site called Lunch. Here are the first two paragraphs of the email:

I really enjoyed reading your posts about fishing (so much fun to do with the family), the Halloween birthday parties you've thrown (they sound like a blast!) and most importantly, your meatball recipe (I've been looking for one for a little while and will have to try yours out!) I love the style of your blog- it's informative, well written, stylish, and fun. After reading your blog, I wanted to write to you about a site I work for www.lunch.com and its parenting community!

Lunch is a place where you can rate/review topics on anything, interact with people that have similar interests, and discover unique perspectives on things you may not have known existed. The parenting community is an ideal place for sharing your thoughts and swapping information on everything related to parenting! Here’s the link:

I was intrigued, so I decided to check it out. After looking around a bit, I discovered that this is a very cool site, where you can read reviews on just about everything, written by real people, who are not being paid to share their opinions. You can even write reviews yourself.

I signed up.

I will admit, I have not found too much time to really discover all this site has to offer, but I have played some of their "games" where you rate things, from fast food to Stephen King books. After each "game", I am shown a list of people who have similar interests, who I can then choose to follow. So far I am following seven people, and two people are following me. Not bad for a couple of days, I guess. I think the more reviews I write, the more followers I will gain. Or at least that is what I am assuming.

Why am I telling you about all this? Because I think you should go check it out. If you decide to join, let me know. I'll follow you.

Sounds intriguing but I already have too many sites I don't have time for now. I may take a look at it though just to see what it is. You peaked my curiosity.

It sounds interesting, but I'm with Karen - too many sites I don't have time for now. If only there were more time in the day...
