pmabray:
Seth Godin says data, and our capability to organize it, is the next biggest thing to human kind. Right behind the birth of language and writing. How does this play out for the complicated masses of wine data? You decide.

I possibly blew it @JancisRobinson
I might have announced a lie - I posted that Jancis Robinson has joined facebook. Current indications are that the account is fake, although I am still awaiting an official statement from Jancis herself. In case this turns out to be true, I wish to apologize to everyone - clearly my enthusiasm for such a move clouded my judgment. I wanted to share the news, as from my point of view the...
Jancis Robinson joins facebook
Big news - Jancis Robinson has joined facebook one week ago (how many of you noticed?)! This is indeed big news, and I wonder why this has not (yet) been a topic of hot discussions. Jancis is always keeping a low profile, and as far as I can tell she has not officially announced her latest involvement in social media. You can “like” her at...

German social media wine scene, add your...
When I started my twitter account in May of last year, the German wine twitter scene was bursting with activity. Over the following months, I made many great contacts and I am very thankful for this. I have sadly noted that the user activity has gone down tremendously this year. I guess the main reason for this is that the pool of German users was limited to start with, and after some time the...

@RobertMParkerJr on twitter - are you listening?
I just retweeted @palatepress, who wrote: “@RobertMParkerJr 1710 followers, following 4. No surprise there.” I also added “Agree, why use twitter at all? Honestly, why?”. I believe I owe to elaborate on this: I have high regards for Robert Parker, his work has been invaluable, and I do not question his accomplishments. I am also a subscriber to the Wine Advocate and his...

Sharks in the German Hotel Industry
Did you know that value added taxes for hotel room rates in Germany have been lowered to 7% from 19%? This was apparently done in order to increase the turnover from hotel guests and should be great news, as the hotel rooms become more affordable to the paying clientele. Last November, I stayed at a hotel in Hamburg and payed 89 Euros per night, inclusive of 19% taxes. Last weekend, I stayed at...

Jancis Robinson branded by twitter opponents
Jancis Robinson started using twitter earlier this year. To me, this marked a watershed; after all, one of the top authorities in wine embraced this new tool. She is not a very active twitterer, but does put the medium to good work. Jancis is a celebrity in the wine world, so it should be no surprise that she has more than 6500 followers, while only following a mere 33 people. After a few months,...

« Transitive Relations | Main December 01, 2009 Simple Gifts A remarkable thing happens to me when I let myself stretch a little, when I take a little risk: the gifts come pouring in. These take many forms: a single blunt compliment, or the simple suggestion of a smile from someone wholly new. Or it might be a new request to work my craft, or to become part of a new...
