Bottletalk
I talked about the progressive specialization of social networks and things are going fast forward in this trend. Now the users of Bottletalk can share impressions about the wines that they have tasted and about the best harvests.
Bottletalk is a directed social net about the world of wine, where users can add the wines that they have tasted or would like to taste, and post their own experiences about the wines through comments and tags.
Tags are useful for searching a type of wine of among the tag-cloud and know the opinion and the appraisal of other users.
Just make sure you don't post to many labels this holiday season. There should be a parallel site named hangovertalk.com.

Koolanoo
Guess what service is this cool James Bond Video promoting:
Koolanoo is a new specialized social networking site that caters to Jewish users. It offers the required features in this sort of product; messages, events, forums, photo albums and even a dating section all for a free sign up. Progressive specialization of networking sites was bound to happen, as generalist sites such as Friendster are to clobbered by users to be of any practical use. We will see more and more sites articulated around some particular axis (be it religion, beliefs, profession), and this will form tightly united and productive communities.

Data for the masses
If you like data you we will find Swivel, a quite curious service. It allows registered users to upload their own data sets in CSV format, obtained from a web page, from excel sheets or even from pdf files, and the site will generate all sorts of graphs for this data.
You can make the data public that the rest of users are now who can embed the graphs in their web pages thanks to the facilitated code, to leave comments, to value them, to edit some options, and the most interesting feature, to make comparisons with other graphs and run correlation analysis between different variables.
Some really weird correlations are being established in the site (global warming fits almost everything that goes up).

4 things that make me feel in the 21st century
With all the hype built by legions of science-fiction writers, let's admit that the 21st century has been a complete letdown. Where are the personal flying devices and virtual reality gadgets?
Personally, I have to rely in some few and scattered things that make me feel in the 21st century with their instantaneous futuristic aura, it's the 21stesque touch:
- Calatrava's architecture: His buildings and bridges blow my mind.
- The Sony Reader: e-ink has fulfilled Borges' sand book vision.
- The Nintendo Wii: one step closer to Star Trek virtual playground.
- Second Life: ultracapitalistic society with commandments encoded in the genes (thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal). Perfect society? Hell no, but you can cruise some chicks there.

Paid Content Discussion
The payperpost forums are thriving with discussions about this innovative formula for publishers to monetize their content. Some of the hot issues discussed over at PayPerPost are the convenience of disclosing your affiliation with the service (my take is that disclosure is positive and necessary for this business model), wordpress blocking, review criteria and opportunities discussion (bloggers can flag an advertisement as questionable to prevent taking part in scams).
The forums also caters more general bloggers' concerns such as how do you turn your blog into a book or technical questions about embedded content.
The presence of some actual reviewers in the forum helps to deal with some of the most grain-of-salt issues, as some advertisers are not very clear in defining what they want.
