1. Just back from a month long Internet break. Hope everyone is well.

    legbamel

    legbamel [waves] It's nice to "see" you again. I was wondering where you'd gone.

    WineCountryInn Abducted by aliens. Just got back from the Crab Nebula, which quite honestly tastes more like chicken.

  2. Lost a pet today. It never gets any easier.

    Many of you who palled around with me last winter on BlogCatalog may remember my frequent references to my pet fancy rat, Pip. The poor guy passed away this morning, and I have lost a loyal friend. If you've never owned a rat before, they are intelligent and social, and like nothing more than…

    legbamel

    legbamel I'm sorry to hear that. Rats do make terrific pets, if you can get past the fact that they're rats. They're affectionate and smart.

  3. @stevefantastic @tonyberkman says you may know a thing or two about the new FB Open Graph buttons.

    Trying to add the "Recommend" button to my blog with the proper meta coding WITHOUT creating a brand new fan page, which I need like another hole in my head. Any clues how to redirect a "Like" or "Recommend" button back to an existing fan page?

  4. @tonyberkman @AngieAlaniz Any clue how to make the new FB "Recommend" button work on a Blogger blog?

    So Far, Open Graph creates a unique fan page for my blog, which I don't want! I want things to go here: http://www.facebook.com/winecountry
    from here: http://coloradowinecountryinn.blogspot.com
    Not here! http://www.facebook.com/winecountry#!/pages/Talk-Colorado-Wine-Country/107585052615954?ref=ts

    WineCountryInn AND when I go to the FB app on my iPhone, my new, unwanted fan page populates out 67 Wall images of the same image, the meta jpeg from my blog.

    tonyberkman

    tonyberkman ask @stevefantastic he's got it

    4/23/10

  5. Just added both the meta tag code and "Recommend" button for Facebook's new Open Graph to my Blogger blog. Hope I did it right!

    If you're not afraid of Big Brother, please take a look at http://coloradowinecountryinn.blogspot.com and tell me what appears in your activity feed or wall. Thanks!

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn Yeah but it also created a Facebook fan page, which I already have and definitely don't want another one. Can you see this? http://www.facebook.com/pages/Talk-Colorado-Wine-a...

  6. Mashable: A #socialmedia site good for telling you about stuff you've never heard of so you'll feel like ignorant dork for falling behind.

    So Groupon is now valuated at $1 billion. What the hell is Groupon? For Crissakes I just mastered FourSquare and WildFire! I think the Mashable folks are just making s**t up, now.

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn I think Groupon is a type of freshwater fish. Or a felony offense. I'm not quite sure.

    Butterose

    Butterose Group buying for events and things to be enjoyed in your hometown. I looked it up. They make an offer and you have to get lots of people to sign up in order to get it. Todays NY State offer is in Rochester, some 200 miles away from me. I'll get right on that. LOL

  7. You http://friedeggs.com yolk-els are in desperate need of a wine education! http://www.theonion.com/articles/wineappreciation-tips,8047/

    Please read and discuss.

    Stillthinking

    Stillthinking Did you know that distinctly fruity overtones are the mark of a good sommelier?

    4/18/10

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn Ha ha ha ha. Yes. Fortunately I am not a very good one.

    4/18/10

  8. A very friedeggy #followfriday to @tonyberkman @AngieAlaniz @WAYLANDCOOK @Stillthinking @derekbowles @TJLubrano @legbamel @Deray28 @salomey5

    And the rest 'o youse crum bums!

    legbamel

    legbamel We'll have to do a voice-over that says, "This is your brain. This is your brain on Twitter. It looks like you're a fried egg, after all."

    tonyberkman haha

  9. @friedeggsfix I want an app that dispenses Snausages to my dogs. Can you get right on that?

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn Just the pugs. The boxers I'll keep.

    4/15/10

    tonyberkman

    tonyberkman ok, do you ned an address?

    4/19/10

  10. @tonyberkman How many pugs've you got? I've got two. You're welcome to them!

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn The boxer? Oh he's fine. Just a big old drooly goof. Healed up months ago.

    4/14/10

    tonyberkman

    tonyberkman Ive got 2, too. Can they stay at your Inn and for how long?

    4/14/10

  11. Hey Tony. Talk to Facebook and see if we can't get your new app here to hook up to people's fan pages. Now that would be HUGE!

    It would be great if a Facebook fan page post by an admin would autopost here, as it does with twitter.

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn HEB is a grocery store and I can only assume that Tony was loading up on Old Harper and prune juice, to make his world famous cocktail, "The Pantstainer." Oi, TJ! Rotterdammit! Throw a shoe at me willya? Why I outghtta!

    4/14/10

    TJLubrano

    TJLubrano @winecountryinn Hahaha Rotterdammit! I just showed you them, wasn't planning on throwing or wearing them ^_^. But you gave me ideas...

    4/14/10

  12. Fried Eggs peeps, top me off! I need just four more fans and I can call it a day!

    That would put me at 100 new fans for the last 24 hours. I'm giving away 5 room nights at our inn and you just might have a chance to win! http://www.facebook.com/winecountry

    AngieAlaniz

    AngieAlaniz I love it when you laugh like that.

    Stillthinking

    Stillthinking I like Freeple. There is something very hippy dippy love you neighbor about it.

    4/13/10

  13. 1) The BlogCatalog crew goes to SXSW. 2) They smoke a little something on the side. 3. They cook up this http://FriedEggs.com thingie.

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn Busy, that is. No comment on my bust.

    4/13/10

    Stillthinking

    Stillthinking Hey, your bust is your own business.

    4/13/10

  14. Long day. I could use a glass of wine. Or two.

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn Probably sea food. But I don't care if it's cliche -- I'd eat with goat cheese or Triple cream Brie.

    4/13/10

    Stillthinking

    Stillthinking Oh, you know how I feel about St. Andre. I just thought about apples with goat cheese and honey today. Yum.

    4/13/10

  15. I have the illustrious honor of posting the first spammy marketing message to http://FriedEggs.com! Join me @ http://www.facebook.com/winecountry !

    I have a sweepstakes launching there at 12:01 am, MST. You could win a 5 night stay at the inn for two.

    timethief

    timethief Wow! The first commercial and I missed it. lol :D

    4/12/10

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn Yis yis. Dear Friend. FriedEggs me and I will FriedEggs you back!

    4/13/10

  16. One hour. One hour to kill and then I launch a major sweepstakes on Facebook using WildFire. Arrgh! I'm going nuts running down the clock!

    Stillthinking

    Stillthinking I just checked your fan page and I don't see the contest?

    4/12/10

    Stillthinking

    Stillthinking Entered!

    4/12/10

  17. So exactly how is this different than twitter?

    Well?

    WineCountryInn

    WineCountryInn Yeah, TonyB! Get on that, chop, chop! We want a FB style notification!

    4/12/10

    Stillthinking

    Stillthinking It's kind of weird being one of the first users of a site. The owners actually listen to your suggestions. I like it.
