Dude, no...

I admit I use the social networking site Facebook. It is excellent in the slaying of extra swaths of time in a day. It is pointless and deathly, like so many of our obscurer pleasures. (Though, in truth, Facebook is more a tic than a pleasure.)

However, this evening (it's evening in Paris; night hath fallen, etc.), I've opened Facebook and discovered that there is, as with Twitter-feed posts or other applications, a CellarTracker app.

Oh, good lord. Do I want to know that Soandso just added 3 magnums of 09 Foillard Cte du Py to his cellar?

Is this the ever-tinier byte of wine natter?

Actually, as I write this, I'm cottoning to it. I can simply "Like" the person's purchase. What a coddling forum. It's the insta-version of putting on a new piece of clothing and turning in all directions in front of one's sister/parent/friend.

How do I look in my 09 Baudry?
 
If I were a gal, I'd use this feature as propedeutic for dating. Isn't anyone (other than Suckling) who has just added 3 magnums of 09 Foillard Cte du Py to his cellar worth a dropped handkerchief or two?

You know if it weren't Sharon's post I'd let this sexist comment slide. Try substituting single for a gal.

I totally empatize with your position, but Cellar Tracker is something like 98% guys, so that would have been disingenuous.

Yeah, it might as well be called CellarSausageParty.

You're offer of empathy is misplaced.

That's because the women who use it adopt the "paranoid" privacy setting, while the men let it all hang out so we can admire the size of their cellars.

I use Cellartracker and love it, by the way.
