Spreading the Thunder — The Social Web, Podcasting, Business Blogs — Changing the (Wine) World
I haven’t been doing a lot of ornithology or cosmology recently but in my teens and twenties this is what I lived and breathed. Now, I live and breathe entrepreneurialism.
In recent months I have been immersing myself in the length, breadth and depth of the social media/UGC revolution, podcasting and blogs, especially business blogs. I especially like what business blogs are doing for (to) capitalism.


I thought that I had had a pretty good handle on all of this, but NO. Not even close. This thing is huge AND more importantly, getting huger. In a natural, organic way.
Expanding in scope and breadth, filling and creating space in the process.
Evolving in ingenious and often unintended ways, occupying every conceivable niche.
Offering unprecedented opportunities for business development. What’s more, the barriers to entry are now so low that anyone can do their thing. It makes me think of that Apple TV commercial, ‘A great time to be alive’.
What a Wonderful World!
Recently, I have been grooving on a certain podcast that intends — with my help, I understand — to ‘change the Wine World’.
I love this kind of thing! Yeah Gary! Let’s ROCK the wine world.
This would be Gary Vaynerchuk’s wine library tv.
Gary is … the greatest, shockingly good looking, imaginative, very charismatic, (and a really) wonderful with the wines guy. (笑)
And I really love the fact that Gary doesn’t go in for any of that snobby or ‘pretty boy’ wine tasting. Gary literally tasted his ’sweaty sock’ for his fans.
Check him out!
Among my favorites are his classic episodes where he braves the winter cold risking life, and surely palate too, to investigate the effects of weather on the taste. And demos building your palate. Gary is not a stunt man, he is a maverick and a master, I believe.
