Over half of Foodily's users already share recipe content with their Facebook friends via the Foodily app. Now, unlike any other company in the food category, Foodily provides a whole new way for people to connect around everyday cooking events.
With this new deep integration on Facebook, people will not only get updates on what their friends are liking or sharing, but also see comprehensive wall posts about the foods their friends are craving, making, and recommending. On their walls, Foodily users will have recipe images, source information, and customized lists that showcase all of the recipes they've explored and found using the recipe network.
"We're announcing the Foodily app for Facebook as a new way for people to connect around cooking and discover new recipes with their friends on one of the world's premier social platforms," said Andrea Cutright, CEO of Foodily.
