Open Social How To

Filed under: Fun, Internet, Social Software When we first wrote about Open Source Food, we said we loved the idea but the site needed some love. Well, it seems that OSF’s creator, Jon Yongfook Cockle, thought the same thing because he’s overhauled the whole enchilada and it’s tastier than ever.

Have we seen one lately? We might talk about UFOs, Area 51, Twilight Zone, Dr. Who, Star Trek, and whatever else comes up, even flamenco dancing. Oh, and bring links about aliens to share!
