Pinotblogger: the Capozzi Winery blog

So I haven’t been one of those early adopters of Twitter, the “micro blogging” service that took the tech nerd world by storm earlier this year.

Personally I happen to think that the fact that you’re “doing laundry right now, in one big load” is about as interesting as…well as interesting as talking about laundry.

However I’ve discovered a use for Twitter, and it also happens to be wine related so I thought I’d share.

Using a web app called Egorcast that mashes up Twitter with the stupendously awesome Jott, you can speed dial the free dictation service provided by Jott and have your words published via email to Twitter.

So the next time you are at a wine tasting event and want to share your notes with the world, you can just dial up Jott and have your words automagically published on Twitter or on your Wordpress blog.

Here’s how (really simple):

1) Sign up with Jott (free).

2) Sign up with Twitter (free).

3) Sign up with Egorcast (free).

4) Dial up Jott from your cell phone and simply say your tasting note. Within 20 minutes some fine folks in India will transcribe your words into text and email them to you and Egorcast, which will then forward the message to Twitter.

All in all, a pretty cool way to capture your tasting notes on the go.
