The sources for FoodieView's search include the major cooking websites, such as Epicurious, AllRecipes, Recipezaar, and Food Network, as well as small, but invaluable sites, like authentic ethnic food websites and notable food blogs. They handpick the sites to provide the best experience for the user. The goal is to be both the most comprehensive and the highest quality recipe collection on the web.

FoodieView demonstrates many of the strengths of specialty niche search engines over general purpose search sites. A recipe search on Google or Yahoo will yield thousands of results, but many of the pages may not contain actual recipes; a result might lead to a cookbook review page, or worse, it could link to a "web spam" page, a site comprised almost entirely of ad links masquerading as real content. Since FoodieView screens the pages in its index, users are virtually guaranteed to get a targeted recipe from their search.

Centralizing the search of several, trusted recipe sources has obvious benefits. "Searching for recipes on the web can be a pain," said Wang. "You usually end up going to several websites to research one dish. Then you have to figure out how to get around on each website. Then if you want to save a recipe, you have to register, and login at each site. We're trying to solve all these problem with FoodieView by creating a simple, one-stop place for people to find recipes."

To date, FoodieView has over 130,000 recipes indexed. Searching for basic ingredients returns a daunting number of results, but the FoodieView interface allows users to zero in on recipes easily by clicking on links for categories. For example, a visitor could start by looking for beef, then click on the link for Italian food to narrow down the choices. The user could go further by selecting the link for a celebrity chef like Emeril Lagasse. One clever tip is to enter the ingredients that you have on hand to "clean out your fridge."

While recipe sites abound on the internet, finding high-quality, well-tested recipes can be challenging. The sources for FoodieView's search include the major cooking websites, such as Epicurious, AllRecipes, Recipezaar, and Food Network, as well as small, but invaluable sites, like authentic ethnic food websites and notable food blogs. "We handpick the sites that we include to provide the best experience for the user," said Wang. "Our goal is to be both the most comprehensive and the highest quality recipe collection on the web."

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site" 
-- CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive.
I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
