As the Web 2.0 era progresses, the overshare is getting more and more refined. It’s not enough to tell your friends where you are at all times. You tell them what you’re doing, how you’re feeling, and most importantly of all, what you’re eating.

Into this unsavory mix comes FoodFeed, a twitter mod devoted entirely to what you, and others like you, are eating right now.

In addition to providing dieticians with some fascinating research fodder, we can’t help but think it’ll be useful to the restaurant industry. Also, as research will confirm, there are currently two people eating jello and one person eating soap.

O brave new world…
