Recently, mobile food trucks have been taking off in the Nashville area. They're old hat in places like Portland, NY, SF, etc but we're always a bit behind the curve here in the South so it's just starting to take off. I thought it would be great if there was a site that monitored all the food trucks twitter accounts and mapped their geodata on to a Google Map so you could easily reference where they are. So I slapped together Mobile Eats - a site that does exactly that. The problem is that only two of the 40 trucks actually post their geodata with their tweets. Why? I've no idea. It's not hard.

So, the site is ready to go but without the support of the trucks posting their proper locations it's fairly useless. There are other sites doing roughly the same thing but I think Mobile Eats is doing it better and more efficiently. Now, I've just got to drum up the support of the community and potentially educate some folks on how to properly use their Twitter application. If it never takes off, so be it, I learned a lot. Hopefully it won't come to that.
