Twitter, tweet, critter, sweet, Facebook, have a look, thumbs a rocking, elbows locking, head down, never frown, don't bother with that clown.
Wineries are now looking for new ways to self-promote ... whaddya think about this? A trend that will fade in a year, or is it here to stay? Who would you gamble on being around in three years ... Twitter or Facebook?
Have a look:

Re: Social Media; Wineries Figure Out Facebook ...
So, which Port producers have a Facebook presence? Any distributors? FTLOP members?
I'm on FB and having a lot of fun, but haven't connected with any port-related institutions or other port drinkers.
(BTW, I'd be happy to "friend" any other FTLOP folks. You'd see all the trash my friends put on my "wall" and I'd see yours; you can always "hide" a friend, so you don't see all the minutia but keep the connection.)

If you are interested, I did put up a FB page on Niepoort : http://www.new.facebook.com/pages/Niepo ... 865?ref=ts
I'm trying to keep it up to date with new info as they are coming.

I have had a FB account for awhile now, although I am not a big fan of that kind of thing, I do visit once a week ... but have never done Twitter, never tweet and unless forced by God himself, hope never to text. It is against my religion.

Picked it up; recognized a few FTLOP names (and probably missed more) and sent a "friend" request their way, too.Derek T. wrote:... sent you a FB Friends Request...
Roy, there's a friend request on your FB wall as well.

Facebook is a great tool, as long as you don't spend your day doing those stupid games :)
