Eric, thanks and congratulations! I’m sort of stumbling through this, making mistakes, etc. I can see that this is a much richer site, once I get my act together.
What’s a “friend” on CT? It sounds innocuous, but isn’t this what was a “buddy” and hence someone who can browse your cellar in detail? Without real names, it is hard what to make of such requests. What’s the other thing called on the new CT? fan?
Friend = Buddy: Facebook style. Reciprocal request. Main reason is indeed around who can see your cellar.
Fan = Favorite: Twitter style and G+ style. Anyone can be a fan of you. You can be a fan of anyone. Main reason to do this is to aid tasting note ordering and filtering and custom score averages.
I need to do a much fuller writeup on the social layer.
Thanks. I hope no one will think I’m unfriendly or don’t like them just because I prefer not to share the details of my cellar with anyone unless necessary.
Some of the new pages are pretty cool. Never knew that I have consumed 37 bottles of Cos d’Estournel from 17 different vintages. Yes, I could have looked that up on the ‘classic’ site but the information is much more readily available on the new site.
