I remember when I first wrote about Foodspotting a year and a half ago. While almost everything I knew uses various social networks share photos of their food. Foodspotting was built around this very idea of service. It just might have been enough, but the larger goal behind sharing photos has always been the discovery of food.
Today the service has hit one million downloads of their food detection applications. And to celebrate, they're upping the social ties within the app with a new tab "to follow".

The latest version (2.5) is now live in the App Store here. And in the Android market here. Foodspotting noted that they also beta BlackBerry app, built with a partner.
Foodspotting is funded by Angel startup that allows people to stumble upon good things in the world around them. Foodspotting website and mobile applications make it easy to find ...
