A non Social web is slowly disappearing

When it comes to social networking, I'm the odd man out for sure.  I'm the black duck, the weirdo, the 17th wheel.  I like to consider myself a hold-out.  I don't get it.  I don't understand the need for sharing what sandwich I'm eating right now and when I'm in the bathroom releasing the same sandwich back into the wild.  Who cares what I'm reading??  Who care's where I'm at??  And I sure don't care what you're doing and where you're at.  Because I'm not there with you!

Ok enough of that.  My biggest concern is that the web is becoming totally reliant on social channels.  I tried to check out a new search engine today and no where on the main page do they even give you an option to add your email to be notified of the launch.  It's either like on Facebook or Follow on Twitter.

What about giving an option for email?  For people like me that don't have a twitter account (*yes I know you can follow without one) and or a Facebook account?

Chicago Needs More Food Served From Trucks

Sure we have our Flirty Cupcakes but cities like NY and LA have really embraced the mobile food preparation concept.  LA even has a site with all the food truck twitter feeds listed on one page.  How great is that?  Now you can see in one place, what food will be outside of your front door for lunch!

We need this!  It seems as though I wasn't the first to say or think that this was a good idea.  This article is asking all Chicagoans to reach out to their local alderman to change the street food laws.  This isn't a new movement either.  Chicago is just behind the times and doesn't make it easy.

I for one am for the street food movement!
