New podcasting software goes livePermalink

surf4wine_podcastsJust a quick Blog post as I'm feeling immensely proud...

Kelvin, our in-house resident web-guru and all-round web/IT genius has just put the finishing touches to our new podcast system. Thanks Kelv!

Not only have we developed a first class and very cool podcasting system for SurfWine, but my interview with Jeff Rosenmeier from Lovibonds neatly demonstrates the flexibility of this new system too. We really are very lucky to have someone has talented as Kelvin on our team here... and we have more great stuff to come in weeks/months ahead.

But the main thing is not to pat ourselves on the back, or to let technology take over, but to make sure you have a great time whenever you visit surf4wine. Hope you like...

PS
Look out for our next podcast... we have the beer-bug at the minute and this next post will be a great follow-on to my interview with Jeff...

Surf4Wine podcastsOur techy team, AKA Kelvin our in-house resident web genius, has been busily putting the finishing touches to our new podcasting system over the last couple of weeks.

I'm pleased to say that this has now gone live - please do take a look - we think it's pretty neat!

It is place where we can take you to let you see and listen to all our audio and video, whether they are me on the radio or interviews with winemakers, or virtual wine tastings by video.

You can play them right there, or down load them in whatever is your preferred format - even into iTunes and onto your favourite mobile device or iPod.

Look out for more videos and audio to come very soon...

Wine News - video clips and wine 2.0Permalink
Posted by Andrew Barrow on June 20th 2007 3:35am. Leave a comment
Lunchtime - and I notice Mr Chapman perusing the BBC website. A few minutes later and in the email inbox appears links to two 'very interesting' stories told via video-clip, on, of course, the BBC.

The first details the militant wine group in France who have informed the "to raise the price of wine or 'blood will flow'". Not the most friendly pressure group around I would say. [view video]

We are all aware of the threat generally of 'global warming' and the extreme changes to the weather globally (anyone in Henley-on-Thames last night knows exactly what I mean!). For a specific look at how rising temperatures could threaten grape harvests in Tuscany, forcing producers to move further north is the subject of the BBC's second clip. [view video].

The blogging world offers many unique and informed opinions on wine and the wine industry (in addition to there being plenty taking the totally opposite path!). WineCast.net, under the hand of American Tim Elliot, produces regular podcasts on a variety of wine related subjects; certainly falling into the first group. [download audiocast].

Generally, although entertaining, I find the chats rather America-centric and the wines impossible to find on these shores. A recently written post on his site is of interest though - how the 'über-hyped iPhone' will power, via various applications 'wine 2.0'. [view post].

Wine 2.0? Basically a way of harnessing the power of the internet by for example linking public opinion (ie wine reviews) with retailers, producer information, recipe sites etc etc. The potential is very exciting, but perhaps the vision and reality have some way to go to realise the 'potential'.
