Better blogging: Who to read, who to watch, how to be a confident audience.

 

            It sometimes seems that there are more bloggers out there than readers. We are all readers, so that will never be a problem. So how you do narrow down who to read? How to you ensure that if you are a blogger, you’ll be in that segment? I’m going to use wine as my primary example here, because it’s a unique industry that receives a lot of attention in the blogosphere.

We recently had a staff meeting/training session for new employees at the winery. Here are my top 5 notes on providing a superior customer experience while pouring wine and presenting a winery. These are NOT in order of importance!

So here's the issue - group tasting fees at a winery. Tasting fees vary. A lot. Although it's less common, some places even provide a free tasting. Usually these will be wineries with less "party" traffic and more of a "buying" crowd. The "party bus" wineries don't really have a choice but to charge for tastings, because, well, wine tasting isn't about free booze. So that’s understandable. But where does the average winery stand? It's often suggested that a winery should comp tastings with a purchase. But what about when it comes to big groups? If you are part of this crowd - where do you stand? Shouldn't you get "group discounts," if not at least the same price as say - your weekend getaway couple? ...Not so fast.

Why is it that out of the million Twitter applications, I can't find a single one that allows you to view the list of followers (as displayed on www.twitter.com) so that you can follow back the people who - der - most recently followed you?

Why is it that Anti-virus software, aside from being the most convoluted industry on planet earth (you know it - search "anti virus" on Google,) comes with 3 (no less) add-on features and a "constantly running, 24 hour protection" system?

  • How Facebook Has Changed Since Going Public 1 Year Ago

    "Facebook was not originally created to be a company," CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in his SEC Registration letter a little more than three months before Facebook went public on May 18, 2012. "It was built to accomplish a social mission — to make the world more open and connected."

    In the year since the Facebook IPO, some things haven't changed: Zuckerberg still sports his trademark hoodies, employees still rate their company and their founder highly, and Facebook still talks about its grand mission to make the world more open and connected. But the era of Facebook operating or being perceived as anything other than a corporation seems more distant with each passing day Read more...

  • Giant Stop Sign Is Laser-Projected Onto a Sheet of Water

    Imagine you're a truck driver. You're coming up to a tunnel that might be too low for your truck to fit under, but you're not sure. Suddenly, a gigantic red stop sign appears to obstruct the road in front of the tunnel entrance, giving you no doubt. Stop!

    You're not going to overlook that explicit warning

    What is this sorcery? See the video above to find out more about how this remarkable sign is created with a instantaneously produced sheet of water and — you guessed it — frickin' lasers

    These pop-up stop signs made by light show company Laservision are part of an experiment that's been taking place in Australia since 2007, successfully preventing semi trucks from suddenly turning into unintended convertibles. This one is in the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, and there are several others installed in the city. Read more...
