The focus of blogs seems to be keeping up with wine news and information (at least, that's my focus), whereas the focus of a Public bulletin board is to chat about wine, tasting notes, etc. They both serve a purpose; I enjoy the casual talk found on bulletin boards, but I keep up with wine news via blogs. Blogs to me have become the new Wine Magazine: insightful articles written by passionate people, on varying topics. The best thing is the quick turnaround of stories on a blog. Couple that with comments from readers, and you have one great place to turn to for your daily wine fix. Dr. Vino,

What struck me the most was how poorly informed the participants in the BB were about the event! We've been talking about it in the wine blogosphere for weeks! Why is there so little overlap between blogs and BBs? Well, maybe that's a broader question than you had bargained for... Thanks for pointing out that BB thread.
