Information is like food. There are states of hunger or abundance and a recommended balanced diet. I am hungry for information, but I can only digest a spoon full at a time. I want to be fed by someone I respect, and who knows me.
I was interested in narrowcasting, in place of tuning into a broadcast. Building up a quality personal network from scratch rather than tapping on to the Internet.
SpoonFeeder let's users connect to mentors they know, and exchange spoons of information. Users request spoons (such as: 10 songs + 5 movies + 5 links), fill received spoon requests, or spread spoons around. A personal icon reflects the user's consumption mode (Hungry, Chewing, Full, More!) in regard to each mentor.
