I guess you could consider us hosts of one giant world-wide wine tasting party. I'm glad you stopped by to check us out!

All the social networking site focus in the media and much research seems to be on teens. But there are plenty of people using this kind of sites who aren't teens, and my guess is that they've got very different expectations and interests in using them. On Last.fm, for instance, I find there are quite a few middle-aged users and I think that what we're getting out of the site is in many ways different from what teenagers are seeking in their use. I hope Vinorati isn't appealing to teens! Unless it's French teens, of course. I agree Mark. All the social networking site focus in the media and much research seems to be on teens.

I think these types of specialized SNSs appeal to older users while the general SNSs (facebook, myspace) appeal to a younger crowd. It might be interesting to study across age demographics.
