Hungry for Social?: New online social service Grubwithus wants to help you “Eat with awesome people!” Unlike other social media sites, Grubwithus isn’t about collecting online connections and contacts; it’s about getting strangers together around a dinner table so they can enjoy food and hopefully some good conversation. All you have to do is go to the website, select a city, and purchase a ticket to one of the many dinners listed. Next to each dinner you can see who has already purchased a spot. Users can include a few fun facts about themselves in their bios for future dining mates to see. The service’s aim is to help people use a social media site to actually be social in real life — who would have thought? NYT
