Kat with a K

Anyone Plodting?

Okay, let's back up for a minute. Amanda Hesser's Cooking for Mr. Latte is one of my absolute most favorite books ever. After reading it, I started reading her in the Times. And so I was very sad when she left the Times.

But! She is part of the team behind the new site Plodt. I signed up because I'd sign up for anything Amanda Hesser was doing, but it's actually pretty cool. It takes your Twitter posts that you label in a certain (easy) way and puts them on a graph that lets you track whatever you want - your mood, your thoughts on food, politics, whatever. And you can see who else is tracking those things and what they're saying. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's neat, I promise. (It's sort of like a really really advanced and much better version of imood, I guess. That's the best analogy I can come up with.)

If you're curious, you can see my Plodt page here. And let me know if you sign up!
