Forkd beta launches!

Forkd is the pet project I’ve been working on off and on the last couple of years. It’s taken a long time to get off the ground as none of us wanted to quit our day jobs We’ve done this out of love, and a desire to actively participate in creating communities online.

It’s a site for saving and sharing recipes. There are plenty of other sites that do similar things, however we have a few new features we think people will find exciting. One of them is the encouragement of remixing, or “forking” is what we call it.(Basically, a fork is a copy of a recipe, but the copy is yours to modify and changes are tracked in a family tree metaphor.) Read more about the ideas behind the site here: http://blog.forkd.com/2007/10/what_is_forkd.html

We’ll be adding new features as soon as we possibly can. Go have a look: http://www.forkd.com

If you’re interested in becoming a Feta tester (see what we did there) drop a note into the comments and I’ll send you an invitation.

I’m so excited I can hardly eat…oh wait…I can always eat.
