I find the fast way to follow other Twitter-Users pretty cool. I'd wish there would be a possibility to do such a thing with a blogroll. What annoys me most is the maximum of 140 characters. Will you have to invent a very short cut descriptive language to show the real complexity of stunning wines? Twittering my daily "what am I doing NZ harvest work" is fun and fast!

I love the Wine Microblogging concept...I just subscribed and look forward to your updates. - Steve Runner Tim: it would be great to get at least a weekly recommendation for a wine under $25-20 for those of us who love to get a bottle to enjoy on the weekend.

Tim, one of those things begging to be mashed up for the betterment of a greater site. Gary V of WineLibraryTV uses it for his "fans" to keep them up to date on happenings with WineLibrary. I think having this group of wine tasting notes exchanged is cool but as I get more experience with this little applet I think it will make the most sense as a web service that serves to supplement other sites and communities.

Perhaps in coming months more folks will join us bleeding edge types; or we'll be onto the next thing :) Thanks for Twittering, Erin… actually I’m somewhat surprised we haven’t seen more Twittered wine notes than we have but there is a core group of us doing so now.

I use twitter at work to communicate with my team - i originally intended to give them brief updates given i travel every week, but instead have been surprised by how much i enjoy snippets of their lives, both professional and personal updates. I imagine that twitter and other mini-blogs like it will grow in prominence and get integrated into other 2.0 apps. Should be interesting! I will definitely follow your lead and start publishing some tasting notes via twitter too. Keep up the great job!

Please post a link, Ryan. To manage 2 accounts I am logged in with 2 browsers; Firefox has my personal account and Safari my winecast account. I'm also using Gtalk on winecast and AIM on my personal account when the IM works (it's been up and down recently). And I just installed Twitget, a MacOS X dashboard widget for Twitter.

I really like it, sits on the desktop in an non-obtrusive way and makes for easy twittering. BTW Tim how do you manage two accounts? Does it allow you to be logged into both at the same time?
