Trick or Tweet?

A couple of updates heading into the weekend.

Wolframalpha posted another nutrition (and Halloween) related blog entry about using the engine to compare and/or total brand name candy nutritional information.  The data they use is from the latest USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.  A neat trick to quickly make comparisons without manually finding the data.

Twitter released its own official Lists feature to all users this week, enabling anyone to create a list of recommended members to share or keep private.  It is also useful to separate those you follow into groups to track by topic.  It should make it much easier to find people and tweets of interest to follow.  There are a number already created for food and health.

Happy Halloween!
