Its creative marketing that is pioneering what will come. Now its all about experimenting with twitter and other technology to bring your brand and product alive on the web. I'm thinking about how I can use this concept for my brand and products. Great idea @projectvino! For all the critics out there I thought the night was great fun.

Why no screen grabs of the Wine tweets, that would seem to be a better ad for the "Product" (???). Also wouldn't it of been more interesting if they sent the bottles to Wine experts to tweet about instead of technologists? Plus, it aint that great an ad for responsible drinking with guys shoving whole bottles of wine in there gobs! Looks like a wino party! Perhaps you could get Corey in next time to host it! Molly PS. Did Duncan write this or John Laws? CFC? I think that you have deluted the idea by putting up screen captures from the yahoo live part and not enough about the actual Wine tasting and the twitter.

What was interesting about the event was that as soon as the Yahoo Live video was established, its speed and intimacy made it the new nexus for the event. This is not to say that twitter didn't add value. Twitter; 1. Provided a time shifted platform for late comers to catch up. 2. More importantly, provided an immediate call to arms mechanism to alert others of the conversation going on at the Yahoo Live site. Lessons were learned and the mix will be tweeked for event number 2. The naysayers can have there "it's nothing special" stance but this event represents what all this technology is about. It's the fruit of all the efforts gone before. New communication tools go mainstream when the tech is no longer used to just talk about tech but life experiences. Drink on.

The idea here's not to use Twitter for Twitter's sake, but to engage with influencers there so that they'll spread it beyond the confines of the tweeting. The winery clearly did well amplifying its presence, and while Twitter didn't have to be part of it - any chat room would work, as would video conferencing sites like ooVoo - it was a good use of the platform.

It's a good example of not-ready-for-prime-time, because waxing philosophical about the wine's oak-y bouquet over Twitter feels even dorkier than simply nerding out about the platform.
