Foodies Worldwide Flock to iMunchie for Holiday Inspiration, Ideas and More

WESTON, Fla., Dec. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Looking for ideas on what "munchie" to serve at your holiday party? Or maybe interested in posting a photo of one of your latest, greatest dishes to share with foodies worldwide? All that -- and so much more -- is now possible, thanks to iMunchie.com (http://imunchie.com), a new social networking site that's quickly building a vibrant, unique online community for people who love all things food.

The "Facebook for food," iMunchie is a lighthearted, yet dynamic online platform that's for anyone, and it's catching on with people worldwide by connecting them through what they crave, cook and eat. With a soft July launch and a hard launch in November, the site has already garnered 150,000+ hits. These foodie followers are finding iMunchie is not only great for recipe swapping, but also sharing ideas, collecting culinary feedback, getting inspired, and even winning food-centric contests. Key to the site is the ability for iMunchie users, or "munchers," to post high-resolution photos. Instantly, the muncher community gets an up-close look.

"Unlike most culinary sites, we're focused on the visual aspects of food, not just the recipe text," says Jacob Baloul, iMunchie's co-founder/CEO. "The text is certainly accessible, but we've put greater emphasis on the what you can see -- the rich variety of ingredients, the defining textures of winning combinations, the style of presentation, and all with a level of detail that's only possible through high-res photography. It's an inspiring resource, particularly if you're searching for ideas on holiday eating or cooking, whether it's Christmas in Russia, Hanukkah in Israel, or New Year's in America."

iMunchie is great crowd-sourcing, too. Seriously curious about what the world thinks about your holiday twist to a traditional chocolate mousse? Wondering which presentation is most appealing for a New Year's Eve bash? Simply set your rules, offer a cash prize, and launch your own tournament.

"iMunchie keeps the food topic light and fun for all, and that's one reason why we've incorporated the competition feature," Baloul says. "Everyone likes a little friendly competition, and they love the cash prizes, which are currently ranging between $1 to $200. If you're looking for extra cash to help with holiday gifts, iMunchie tournaments could be your next cash cow!"

After registering with iMunchie, every muncher can create a personal profile, send messages, "friend" fellow munchers, blog and share with other popular social networking communities.
