Taste From the Internet?

10 TV: A group of central Ohio social networkers is going into restaurants, sampling the food and spreading the word to others. Dan Harris is behind TasteCasters. He hopes to have groups across the U.S. by this time next year… "(We) go out and meet each other, and eat and drink," Harris said. "We're combining together to communicate what's available in Columbus."

The group is made of some of the biggest players when it comes to social networking in central Ohio... Through sites like Twitter, Facebook, Flikr, and blogs, Harris' group reaches more than 23,000 people. The first tasting took place earlier this week at the Suisse Shop Bakery.

These days, restaurants seem happy to try something new to get customers in the door… "The word of mouth is better than anything I can do," said Diane Warren of Katzinger's Deli, one of the stops on Harris' tour. "I think if they have a good time tonight, and they learn tonight, not only will they Twitter this, but they will tell their friends and they will bring their friends here. So it's very good for business."
