Give Me Food Updates On Twitter Over Kim Kardashian Any Day…

I need to bring up an important issue…one that is shared often online and with much debate. This impacts everyone who engages in social media online and has far reaching ramifications (Ramifications! Wow!)…

Updating your Facebook Wall and Twitter stream on what you’re currently eating.

There. I said it.

I know many of you reading this right now must be saying ‘Damn…Kenny really did it! He brought it out in the open!’ It needed to be said….and it needs to be addressed.

I’ll get straight to the point. I support and urge everyone on Social Media to frequently Facebook and Tweet what you’re eating and drinking…pretty much all the time.

We already see alot of evidence of this online. Let me tell you why it is so important.

We eat several times a day. Some eat as many as 5-6 times a day. Some even 10-20! (damn you go…but save some for us ok??) So it’s obviously something that everyone does alot of. We also update our Wall on Facebook and Tweet alot as well. Some more than others I realize and some update alot more than they eat.

So doesn’t it make sense to combine the two?

Since the dawn of time we have bragged about what we had for dinner the night before at work the next day. “Man, I had some rockin’ Tortellini last night with some insane buttery garlic bread!” With Social Media now we are now more ‘immediate’ about it.

Real time. Real eating.

Really, when you think about it, I think that’s what Social Media was invented for. Because it sure ain’t any good for marketing! *wink*

I don’t know about any of you, but now I’m at the point where I scan my Facebook and Twitter for what people are chomping down and what delicious drinks they’re enjoying. I’m over the Tweets on Forex, ramblings of Confucius and how much Kim Kardashian loves us and her high heels.

Speaking of Miss Kardashian (she’s not married right? I can’t keep up), I think she needs to step up her #tweetingwhatsheseating.  I KNOW she eats! Right??

But I digress (been waiting to use that line for awhile…)

Give me a roast beef and cheddar with a Newcastle Brown Ale update any day…and preferably with a picture.

Which brings me to my next point: Pictures with the updates rock! You wanna see what everyone is enjoying, right? That should be 50% of your updates when possible.

Now on to the detractors, or what I call the ‘online food downers’. (I haven’t thought of a better catchphrase than that so ideas are welcome in the comments below!)

We all know who they are. They grumble online periodically about the…well…updates on food.

‘If I see another update on what you ate for lunch I’m deleting you blah blah…’

Oh really? So you’re so offended by my lunch you gotta delete me? So inconvenienced that I’ve clogged up your stream (eww!) that you’ll miss that important update on the latest Twitter spamming software?

Well get a frickin’ life Mr. ‘You can make 197 grand on Twitter starting tonight’ because we all KNOW you’re pounding down a Chipotle burrito and washing it down with a Yoohoo with the $8.54 you REALLY made!

So there you have it. Like the title says, I make no apologies for my #tweetingwhatimeating and I plan to even step it up a few notches.

And It’s time that 1…we all admit that we like to eat more than we’ll ever fess up to and want everyone to see it constantly and 2…accept that this is the REAL reason Social Media was invented.

For my latest eatings go follow me: http://twitter.com/kennethholland and http://kennethholland.com/facebook and don’t forget to drop off a spicy chicken sandwich.
