Talking Wine Via Social Media - Is The Conversation Clear?

With busy lives and short attention spans, when we talk about wine online do we really have a clear conversation about the subject?  Is it something that enhances knowledge, experience, or both?  We are looking to have connections to the wine and the place it comes from but can Social Media deliver on that?

We say yes, in the sense that the discussion about a wine or winery enhances our collective knowledge and understanding about a subject that is near and dear to our hearts.  Through this wine journey online we have come to understand that we do have like-minded folks out there who, while interested in what we have to say, are just plain interested and engaged in the world of wine and are looking for an outlet or platform to have their opinions heard, or to at least follow along with the discussion.

There is no platform like the one we use to allow for our small and self-important opinions to seek a larger audience.  Moreover, we present it as nothing more than our own discovery and conversation about wine and what interests us.  If that appeals to others then the internet in its infinite wisdom will allow for those connections to happen.  It is a magical time to be in the Social Media world, where monetization of what was not intended to be monetized occurs daily and it is fascinating to see how this frames our everyday lives. 

What does this mean to our little Wine Blog?  Well, not much really, other than as it has been said over and over, that content is king.  Our hope is that if the conversation is real and the opinions honest others will find our blog to be a source of relevant (if somewhat self-serving) and interesting (most important) information.

As always, feedback is key.  Voting with your mouse is one way but we would love to get better at providing relevance, and so for that we humbly turn things over to our readers.  What could we do to make this better?

Keep on drinking!
