Interesting side-story on the much-tweeted SITT tasting today. The wine social media community – me included – used the #SITT twitter hash tag without testing it first. The result is we inadvertently invaded the permanent #SITT tag used by Science in The Triangle, the social media network of research scientists in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park, the USA’s biggest concentration of research establishments.
Thus if you head to Science in The Triangle’s website you’ll see all our tasting notes and comments appearing: scienceinthetriangle.org
Our bad. Lesson learned: test hash tags first.
This is the blog of wine journalist Jamie Goode, online since 2001. Feel free to nose around; your comments are welcomed.
Hi — just a note from one of the bloggers over at Science in the Triangle… it is an interesting experiment for all — bet we can whip up a post about the science of wine making and wine tasting though.
delene, no that would be interesting! do you have many wine-loving scientists in your community?
Hi Jaime – what a neat coincidence. And YES, we have a good many wine-loving scientists in our local NC Triangle community as well as in our international online science communicators community. One example is a wine tasting I led at our ScienceOnline conference last year:
