The Dawn of Wine Microblogging
By Tim on Mar 16, 2007 in Wine 2.0
Last night I posted a proposal for other wine bloggers to start microblogging tasting notes on Twitter. Since then Dr. Debs from Good Wine Under $20 and Andrew Barrow from Spittoon have joined me and others have put my Winecast Twitter feed on their friends list.
A bit of clarification about how I will manage the friends vs. followers on this account since I think this might become somewhat larger over time. All bloggers who put me as a friend will be added as a friend only if they Twitter wine related subjects. For example, I will most likely use this for micro tasting notes of wines I am drinking at any given time but others might use it as sort of a mini email system about wine. An exchange between Dr. Debs in California and Andrew in the UK shows the power of such discussion. Everyone else will be added to my friends list on my personal account but you will still get notifications of my wine posts as a follower. Or you could just subscribe to the combined feed. I’ve added the Twitter feed to my right sidebar here for you to follow along, too.
Let’s see how many others will join the wine twitter movement… you don’t even have to be a blogger to join us.
