What's your passion? Whatever your interests are, we have some new features that will make sharing and discovering more about what you love even easier. We also like to think that the side effect to the fun is finding some common ground with people you may never have encountered otherwise. Surely the world could use a little more understanding, right? So keep rating and find out who you're most similar on everything under the sun-- from food and politics to sports and the environment.

We've added a brand new way to participate on Lunch called Micro Reviews. An easy, quick-take opinion (in 140 characters or less) will help us get to know you and connect you to great people and content. It's a nice way to work your way up to writing full reviews. Plus, you can share your Micro Reviews on Twitter and Facebook.

You can also share your top faves with Lists! You can rank data points on any theme or category. Post your favorite dog breeds, inspirational workout songs, or favorite sitcoms in order, and then share your list on Lunch, Facebook, Twitter or any of your social networks. Also, include blurbs on why you ranked the list the way you did. Once you share your list, other people can create their own version based on yours. It's a great way to compare tastes and show off the cool stuff you know.

We're proud to announce Communities on Lunch, where you can find the latest reviews, top contributors, ExhilaRate games, and Lists on a particular topic! Find popular communities above or click on "Interests" (in the green bar at the top of the site) and "tags." See how you stack up against other contributors in green living, gaming, non-fiction, pets, or wines! You can also follow a community to get updates on new posts and content. Since we've just starting building Communities, please help us out by tagging your reviews and data points. Thanks for helping us out!

Remember to follow us on Twitter @Lunch_com for news, @bestoflunch for the cream of the crop reviews, or follow me @jrlunch. And become a fan of Lunch on Facebook! We'd love to hear what you think via email or Twitter.
