Food diaries have been the topic of my previous post, and now it seems easier than ever to keep one, simply by sending a text message or getting on Twitter.
Yesterday I stumbled upon Tweet What You Eat. You use it by sending a direct message of what you ate and the number of calories to TWYE through your Twitter account.
I have been keeping a paper food diary, but I often wait until the end of the day to fill it out. This means I may not remember exactly what I've eaten throughout the day. With TWYE, I can simply text in what I ate right after I put it in my mouth, making my food consumption account more accurate, and also more simple.
I definitely think this is a more useful way to use Twitter. When I first signed up for a Twitter account, I found it pretty pointless. In fact, I still mostly use it to post song lyrics I like. But I think new services like TWYE and Tweet What You Spend make the whole Twittering idea more worthwhile in my mind.
