Wow! Your amazing. Found you when I was googling around.
I just wrote a little text about the problem that companies aren't listening anymore to consumers. And that it's a shame. Because they do have a voice that can be heard trough internet. And you CAN LISTEN TO THEM.
Because if you ignore people. I do believe they will ignore you in the end. End you end up loosing.
Brilliant!! You told it brilliant!! Better. Love it.

Well, as long as you care....if you're listening...I'd love to see more color on your web sites...some girl color, in fact - something from a blue/chocolate/chartreuse palette would be ok. The brown tone is getting ho-hum...like an old leather lounge chair in someone's basement. Think of it like this...you sense flavors in everything you do, feel, touch. I sense the visual images. In the same way that you taste a rock - I smell the brown tones on your web sites. My visual palette craves as much as your taste palette. And my visual memory is equal to your taste memory (well, maybe not yours...). Feed the visual among us...and the rest will benefit, too.

Gary,

Interesting thoughts. I see a lot of "ego-searching" on Able Grape. Agreed, "caring" is cool, but not all ego-searching is necessarily caring.

When I see somebody dig deep into the results (far past their own site), or filter by blogs, then yes, there's someone who cares. And when I see that they query for other wine-related topics, then I think, "wow, there's someone who cares about their customers, and is actually passionate and curious about wine, too." There really are a few people like this, and it's great to see.

Sadly, though, I see a lot of "ego searching" on Able Grape that doesn't seem to be about keeping in touch with customers. People are often looking for their own sites, and just want to see if they're present and rank highly in searches. They come, they do one search for themselves, verify their presence or non-presence, and they go away (and then sometimes I get an email asking them to add me to the search engine). At least judging by their search behavior, I wouldn't say these people "care" either about their customers or about wine. It's a little disheartening, really!

HI Gary,

I am just *hearing* you for the first time in this video (linked from Chris Brogan's post today (Dec 29)) - and wow, i love your passion and enthusiasm! You've got a unique style and i'm going to keep reading through your site to find more cool posts. Love what you're saying here... but for those people/businesses who don't have the time or haven't put the time in to listen, what actionable steps would you put out there for them?

(thanks for reading my comment :)

cheers.

Gary, I enjoy your presentation. You're the "Tom Peters" of the internet. Getting noticed on the internet is "A Passion for Customers" while "Thriving on Chaos" (Peter's books). Caring IS the key. Great job!

Oui Gary ! You're true one more time. What people say about you is more important than what you say about yourself.
Best wishes !

Brilliant! Beautiful name. Very memorable, but you already know that. People have to think about you (and your name) more than most, whether they want to or not. What a gift! Peace…S. Vanderver

You couldn't be more right! I try to spend at least some time every day looking through the Google blog search and other places to see where my business is mentioned or where my name comes up. It helps a lot and I've made quite a few contacts that way.

Love this topic! We were just talking about the importance of google/twitter searching and helping find anything from brand mentions to backhistory on a new date. While both are fun, tools like google alerts are extremely important from a brand perspective and should be checked almost as frequently as email!

Gary, Just found this new site/service to search your brand.
It's called www.Samepoint.com - It's new, but pretty cool to see what people are saying about you.

Sometimes, gary, i find things I dont want to know. People talk about me when they want to talk trash or argue w/ a point...so on some level, i just skip it all and it keeps me happier.

I just started watching your videos at wine library TV and noticed the link to your website. I recently got into wine, especially champagne. I'm 37 so I'm coming to it later than most but I am enjoying the bubbles and your daily wine episodes have been a blast. Now that I've been to your website I can say I also agree with your world view. Stay true to who you are and you can't go wrong! Do some shows on cavas, Spain just seems to be doing so many things right recently.

I couldn't figure out how the linkedin ( friend me up) works. Could you link me in .... mine is :

http://www.linkedin.com/in/...

I was introduced to you at an FIU seminar being presented by John Fleming ( he played a youtube video on web 2.o and yours was the one we watched). I think it would be in my best interest to follow you on as many online vehicles as possible. I am trying to move my company more towards internet marketing and web 2.0 and you seem to know what you are doing. Thank you and have a great weekend.
