Some more advice for Stormhoek

No, no, nothing to do with any awards! That you’ll find elsewhere… This time its REAL advice for Stormhoek that can come in REAL handy for them in future! So, Graham, Chris and the boys, some feedback would be great!

In my quest to extend my knowledge of microformats, I stumbled upon a site this weekend that is a wine 2.0 site that lets you register and enable you to review your favorite wines. (See: http://corkd.com) These member reviews are then published on their site using the hReview microformat. (Cru master, you might as well listen too!)

So how can all this benefit Stormhoek? Let me give you some free advice Stormhoekers! You get some development company (like E active, for example! ) to develop you something that will regularly check your wine’s pages on Cork’d for new reviews (or other wine sites if they implement the hReview microformat). Or you implement an interface that will let bloggers submit URL’s to be pinged for the hReview microformat and save it into a review table on your database. You can then with minimum efforts keep track of what people in the blogosphere and elsewhere say about your del.icio.us, lovely wine! You can select the best reviews and have a page with links back to the original posts somewhere on your blog.
This is a very simplistic way of doing it, but it could come in handy to keep track of all thats been said of you and could work as some handy Web PR+, don’t you think?

  Thank you, Stii.
  I will have a close look at your suggestions. We are beginners in the communications world and stumble this way and that as we learn. We have spent our whole lives learning how to do what we do, and we are just getting going.

Spit it out!
