More Beer 2.0
Posted on 20:45, April 23rd, 2008 by Al E.
Ummm…what?
Beer 2.0. You know, Web 2.0 technology focused on beer. We’ve mentioned other beer-focused Web 2.0 sites before.
Well, here’s a few more my fellow technophiles might want to look into.
Blogged is a directory of, well, blogs. In particular I draw your attention to All > Family & Home > Cooking > Drinks > Alcoholic > Beer. Registered users can review blogs themselves, connect with other members, get notifications if their own blog gets a review, and so on.
The Aleuminati - aleuminati.ning.com
and
Democracy’s Drink - www.democracysdrink.com
Heard of MySpace? Facebook? Same idea here. Members can create profile pages with all kinds of customization, participate in forums, and otherwise network socially. The difference is that these communities focus on beer.
Heard of Digg? Again, this is basically the same idea. Members can vote on stories, and the stories with the highest ratings bubble to the top. Again, however, the difference is in the focus: beer-related stories.
Finally, I’ll mention Plusmo. What is Plusmo? I’ll let them explain it:
Plusmo is a FREE service that lets you run cool mobile widgets
on your phone. Mobile widgets are tiny killer apps that offer a
much better mobile experience for a specific purpose. There
are over 20,000 widgets on Plusmo, most of them created and
shared by users like you.
They’re not beer-focused, obviously. However, someone has created a Plusmo widget for Hop Talk.
What are your favorite beery Web 2.0 gizmos?

I’ve started using a site called StumbleUpon.com for locating Beer sites. Handy tool and you can rate sites as well.
