[Air-L] Food Status Updates and Twittering

[RBerkman at aol.com]

I also think that status updates and tweets about cooking, eating, recipes 
and meals add a richness and (imagined) physical substance to a medium that 
can is more abstract, word based and cerebral. 

You take in a post about a meal and you immediately conjure up senses: 
smell, taste, even touch--that are pleasing and missing from these forms of 
communication.
