Winecast : WBW 27: Value Eiswein? - http://winecast.net/2006...
"Hi Wendy: This wine is very sweet but does have enough acidity to stand up to a dessert as long as you don't go too sweet. I would pair it with a fruit dessert or pie. Peach or apricot would probably be best. Or you would just have the wine by itself for dessert."

Acan Media : Why Wineries Might Want To Look At Their SEO - http://acanmedia.com/why-win...
"It's partly due to Goosecross using a CMS and Neal not updating their site very much since 2003. If you use Wordpress as your sites back-end, you will see better SEO and the platform will encourage more frequent updating of content which search engines love. But you already knew that ;-) You could just hire one of us to take care of such details, too."

Acan Media : Why Wineries Might Want To Look At Their SEO - http://acanmedia.com/why-win...
"I was suggesting that wineries should own the first page of search results for their specific wines and not generic terms like varietal or even region. For example when you search on 'Goosecross Chardonnay 2007' you get the information the winery has provided as the first result. Do the same for 'Neal Family Cabernet 2003' and you get CellarTracker, Snooth and other retailers before the winery. They might end up selling the wine via those retailers but consumers like to buy directly from the winery particularly if they are limited production or hard to find at retail. The bottom line is to try to control the user experience and maybe capture the sale. Being the first or second result will be important as consumers start to use their mobile devices to make purchases. I recommend producing compelling content regularly and use a CMS like Wordpress to power your website as the best way to SEO your web presence. If you want to do the fancy keyword stuff, fine, but I wouldn't start there...."

Twitter is working fine for me... although I'm sending this thru Friendfeed ;-)

It's not working here in MN... must be down; API doesn't work, either so no tweets for us

Lots of folks at Dell are noticing it's down too.

so huge a fail, we're not even getting the whale :) FriendFeed must be rubbing their hands with glee

I guess that's one way to get me to venture over to FriendFeed.

Not sure, but i like it.

@Ryan, this is a great time for me to figure out how FF works.

Kind of annoying, but interested to see where everyone will flock to in its absence...

@Hutch I can't work, because a lot of my morning is on Twitter. Seriously. I'm just at a standstill, kinda.
- Sydney Owen
LOL, I'm not the only one who is checking out Friendfeed a bit more right now :P
- Selene M. Bowlby
Friendfeed was defeinitely the first place I came, then Facebook, but FB seems to be really lagging
- Crispin Heath
Facebook was giving errors when commenting...
- Gabe Diaz
I guess this is a perfect time for all you "die hard twitter users" to realize why Friendfeed is better! :D
- Johnny
man, I think I have the shakes
- Kevin Norman
Oh, look at all the fresh updates here! (Including mine) Is this the social media equivalent of a booty call?
- Justin Whitaker
and the funniest part is when your first reaction is to tweet and find out what is going on. oops. Nothing on the blog, I checked.
- nan braun
Can't access Twitter in NL either. Over to Friendfeed!
- Samuel Driessen
I'm having login issues with Facebook as well (and so are a number of my friends in different parts of the countries). FriendFeed FTW
- Sam Harrelson
from IM
@Sydney I rather like FriendFeed, there's just more people on Twitter for me, it drives WAY more traffic, and it's RARE good discussions evolve here from anyone other than POWER users.
- Ryan Stephens
love how we all pop over here when twitter is down ;)
- Kate
Ryan: how do you have discussions on twitter? I'll agree that they are rare.
- Johnny
What's up with twitter? Nothing. :-)
- Panayotis Vryonis
Johnny: I have more discussions b/c my friends engage more there...of course harder to follow and usually include only 2-4 people. I LOVE the threaded comments here, provided a group of intelligent people were chatting, but how often does that happen? Sometimes with people like Scoble, Owyang and Louis Gray? (that's been my experience anyway.)
- Ryan Stephens
Ryan: I don't think it's fair to assume that there is a lack of intelligent conversation on friendfeed, especially with your 12 comments and 2 likes which tells me you've never really tried it out.
- Johnny
I was not fully awake trying to bring up the Twitter page. Good to know it wasn't just me.
- RuthNH
Ryan: I'd be happy to build you a list of friendfeed users and send them to you later today
- Johnny
Sam .. They are like alternate universes. Didn't expect anything in my Facebook feed, but knew it would be hopping here. Love this! This is going to be a Trending Topic I suspect ....
- Joe Magennis

@johnny I'd love to see that list, I'm going to sit down with friendfeed this weekend and figure it out
- Sydney Owen
Well, you mean in general or just the current outage? ;)
- Mads Kristiansen
Sydney: Subscribe to Kol (http://friendfeed.com/koltreg...) He is a very active user on friendfeed and already has a recommendation list. I'd be happy to create an additional one for you as well.
- Johnny
.. Scoble must have run his script again, I guess.. ;)
- Mads Kristiansen
Johnny: That's completely fair. I've lurked a lot & have read a lot of Louis Gray's, Scoble's and Valeria Maltoni's insights with respect to FriendFeed. You're right, maybe I'm not following the right people. And I didn't necessarily mean to imply there was a lack of intelligent conversation. It's just rare that I've seen these discussions develop from anyone's comments aside from a few power users. I'd be grateful for a list of users.
- Ryan Stephens
A social networking coup?
- Melissa Pierce
I heard from someone that Twitter doesn't even know why it's down.
- Paul Chaney
Ryan: I'll subscribe to you and get you a list in the near future. This conversation that you are engaging in right now happens with the majority of users (not just power users).

Johnny: But how often does it start from someone's message that's not a 'power user' ? How often does someone following 100, have a 100 followers end up with conversations like this off of one of there comments?
