NEW: Share your dinner idea, and get inspired by others around the world!

Foodie Status Updates (NEW!)

One of our long-term goals here at BigOven is to help get you unstuck for dinner with great and personalized inspiration, every night.

We think that the large worldwide community of over 500,000 BigOven users can help. As part of this thinking, today, we went live with a beta version of our "What's for dinner?" box.

Key idea: Think of a Facebook or Twitter update, but for food.

Why it's useful: Help others (including yourself) get unstuck and inspired. Jot a note to yourself and the world about what you're next making in the kitchen. It needs to be short (200 chars or less, please, and no HTML.) You can see people's ideas by clicking the "see" link, which you'll find in your profile box or toward the bottom of several pages, right after the list of recent searches. In the future, we'll let you see just those update for your "foodie friends", all users, users of the same cooking skill level, users near you, etc. You can also update this via the BigOven for Windows application, once you've logged in.

Here's something kind of cool -- in the future, we can remind you exactly what you were making this time of year. In this way, it's kind of like a very short, spontaneous food journal. Remember, everything you write on that status update is public, and goes onto your member profile page.

Enter it here...

See it here...

And here...

You can see the latest status update for a user on their memberpage, toward the top, e.g.:

http://www.bigoven.com/~admin

Hope you find this useful. We'll be building more and more on top of this in the future to help get you unstuck and inspired in the kitchen. Happy cooking!

NEW: Link your Facebook and BigOven Accounts with Facebook Connect

Today, we launched Facebook Connect for BigOven.com.

You can now link your BigOven.com account and your Facebook account, and:

Save time: with a single (Facebook) login, you’re ready to go with both sites.
Share a common profile: Your Facebook avatar carries over to BigOven.com. Whenever you change it on Facebook, it automatically changes on BigOven.com.
Easily share recipes with Facebook friends: When you link your Facebook and BigOven.com accounts, you can easily post recipes to your Facebook wall, and share them with friends.
Make your chef page more personal: When you link your account, other members can go right to your facebook profile page.

Now that Facebook and BigOven are technically connected, the "hard part" is behind us, and we'll be adding much more in the future.

As always, we adhere to the Privacy Policy on our website. Among other things, we of course do not have any visibility into your Facebook login; that’s between you and Facebook.
