Food, Inc. is a 2008 American documentary film directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner.[2] The film examines large-scale agricultural food production in the United States, concluding that the meat and vegetables produced by this type of economic enterprise have many hidden costs and are unhealthy and environmentally-harmful. The film is narrated by Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, two long-time critics of the industrial production of food.[3][4] The documentary generated extensive controversy in that it was heavily criticized by large American corporations engaged in industrial food production.[2]

My best guess is that I want Twine's technology, FriendFeed's interface and the ability to import my friends from all of my other social services (probably Twine's biggest drawback). If someone provides all of this, they could be the next Google.
