Single Serving Sites

In the past we've shared a few of our favorite single-focus sites, ranging from charting the progress of our new president to simply informing us if we need an umbrella today.

Today we stumbled upon another single serving site as visually compelling as it is informative. Created by Justin Ouelette (the creator of Muxtape), All The Curry does what it promises, offering a simple solution to a single common problem.

Justin says:

Brendan and I decided to order Thai food last night and faced an all-too familiar problem: remembering which curry is which. With colorful names that may or may not reflect their actual appearance and similar ingredients that aren’t usually listed, selecting a curry can be a harrowing decent into the darkest depths of indecision.

It was time to settle the issue once and for all. We ordered all five standard Thai curries so they could be examined and sampled as a complete set, and challenged ourselves to build a web site with our notes in exactly one hour (cementing the memory and providing future reference should that memory fade).

Certainly more compelling than The Price of a Stamp.

Anyone want to chip in for an order of panang?

It will be interesting as the art of "single serving sites" goes from the silly, to the funny to the actually useful.

One item that comes up is...how will people find them? I came across this site that gave some organization - http://singleserved.com

Do we need single serving site hashtags?
