The coolest way to buy creme brulee in San Fran: the Twitter food cart

FirefoxScreenSnapz127.jpg
Follow @cremebruleecart (2,725 followers for Creme Brulee, I mean seriously) and you can get Creme Brulee.

The foodcart movement was started by Korean BBQ @kogibbq and suddenly 100 people can show up where the cart appears. It's the food smartmob.
Blake Engel who tweets under @urbanhiker explains what the food cart movement is all about. A few really smart food producers or chefs have gathered a community around themselves and they move around in the city or even in the US and they tweet where they are, the members of their communities just go get food when they are nearby. This is too cool.


here are a few Twitter accounts to follow (I hope I got them ok):

About

Welcome to my blog. Based in San Francisco, I am an entrepreneur and a blogger. I just started my fifth startup, Seesmic, a community driven video social software. Here is what TechCrunch says about it.

I am blogging every day a video on loic.tv about (almost) everything I do as I start Seesmic, I also constantly post short thoughts to twitter and often my pictures on Flickr.

I also organize every year in Paris the conference LeWeb3 that gathers more than a thousand bloggers and entrepreneurs from 40 countries on Dec 11 and 12.

If you would like to learn more, here is a bio, my LinkedIn profile, my wikipedia pages in english and french. Sometimes they are subject to changes that do not always reflect what I consider the truth but that is the principle.

You may also want to subscribe to my RSS feeds in English, French or my video podcast feed.
