I'm a (very) small producer (near Madrid, Spain) and I've only been on Twitter for about 1 month! so I didn't participate in the survey. Hi, really interesting report.

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I initially did searches in WeFollow, Twellow, and Twitter itself searching on "winery", "wineries" and "wine", then separating and deleting listings that were not actual wineries.<br><br>That being said, I have to apologize that for some reason I did not find Twisted Oak listed even though today after seeing your message I searched again (Twellow) and did find you. There have been other times when I have searched and gotten inconsistent results. Normally I would recheck over a period of time. However, in this case since the number of followers changes too quickly (and therefore the top 50 would likely change somewhat), I did not make multiple searches beyond the date stated on the research.<br><br>And yes .. I do agree with you that followers alone do not mean a great deal of and by themselves. That is why I followed up the initial research with the survey, which helped to identify many details beyond the data available on Twitter itself.<br><br>So again my apology since based on number of followers you do place in the top 10 count, and if you would like, I would be happy to update this post and the linked spreadsheet indicating that somehow I missed Twisted Oak on the first pass. Just let me know. Jeff .. Thanks for pointing this out to me.

I have over 2500 followers** on Twitter as @eljefetwisted. I'm surprised that this would be below the threshold. Or maybe I missed your survey requests?<br><br>** It's easy to inflate your follower counts on Twitter, but I refuse to use those kind of tools. A discussion of more meaningful measurements of "Top-ness" would be interesting. Another would be how to determine "real" follower counts, that don't include all of the trolls that follow you trying to get a follow back, for example. Just curious how you found your wineries.

Social media such as Facebook and Twitter are still in thier infancy, but they have the promise to be a force to drive sales in a winery. Can a winery be successful without them? Of course. It's still all about the wine. I see social media marketing as a part of a package of a winery's marketing effort. The key is that it is easy to do and inexpensive. It gives a winery with no marketing effort, a quick and easy way to connect with those that they would otherwise not connect with.
