RIP Tastespotting....
It dawned on me that it seems like I'm always blogging about something I'm obsessed with.

Ahhh, I can't believe that Tastespotting is down!! :0(
ReplyDeleteIt's so true, it's over. So very sad.
ReplyDeleteBASTARDS!!!!
ReplyDeleteMAKE THE BOSTON CREAM CUPCAKES!!
I will miss all the inspiration I found on tastespotting. It was so much fun to explore new blogs. I wonder what the legal complications were...hmmm....
ReplyDeleteI'm just so bummed by this! I have been reading Tastespotting almost every single day for months!
ReplyDeleteThere is someone who has already started to upgrade their site, though, to do almost exactly the same thing--I'll keep you posted!
I've found myself on the verge of visiting the site a couple times a day. Guess its just old habit!
ReplyDeleteElle - definitely keep us posted about the potential new site! I wonder if you're restricted to only posting your own photos, it'd help with some of the copyright issues...
Ingin Joe... says it is so.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame! I just got a couple of pix posted there.
It is truly a shame.
I'm completely bummed about it too. I visited several times a day. Can't wait to see if someone else takes this on.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you guys went veg! That's almost as bad as giving up carbs and wine for three weeks before my beach vacation!! Good luck w/ that :)
Oh by the way Sharon, I'm passing on to you the Arte y Pico award.
ReplyDeleteYour blog and the work you do here are totally worth it!

ReplyDeleteElle - thanks for the link! I linked to another one on the crumb cake post. Hopefully everyone will migrate to one site.
ReplyDeleteMrOrph & Prudy - thanks again for the awards! You make me blush :)
Adrianna - I've clicked over a couple times as well...maybe hoping that it'll come back.
I knowwwwww! Tastespotting's demise made me depressed all week long.
ReplyDeleteyeah i got this too! what happened ultimately!?!?
ReplyDeleteThere's an update on their site: "In trying to resolve this situation, TasteSpotting.com is in the process of having a new owner. She would like you to know that "we're just marinating a bit longer, but tastespotting will be back shortly..." Yay!
ReplyDeleteFlanboyant Eats - thanks for sending the sauce...I CANNOT wait! :)
