A peek inside adegga
June 27th, 2007
We have been in closed beta mode for almost a month now (since reboot). If you have subscribed to be notified when we launch don’t despair! In a few weeks we’ll start sending invites so that you can start using adegga too!
There are a few people using the site right now (some using the moo invite cards) and providing amazing feedback. We have been fixing bugs and making some developments based on that feedback.
However, there are many other people that have sent us emails asking to “peek inside” adegga. For those of you that are curious about what we are doing, here’s a couple of screenshots with descriptions of some of the features of the project.
Watchlist
When you’re using adegga you can add people, that you trust or would like to follow, to your Watchlist. (More on this on another post).

Cellar
You can catalog the wines you own. Tag, rate and write notes to organize the wines so that you can find them easily later.

Tasted Wines
Track which wines you’ve been trying. This way we never forget what was that amazing bottle you had last year.

Profile
There’s a profile page for each user. These pages are full of interesting information (and we’re adding more) that gives you an overview of each person. Besides the normal stuff, like a picture and some links, there’s a short stat on the number of wines the owns, tasted or wishes, there’s a user tag cloud and much more.

Shared wines
If you’re logged in, then any profile you visit will personalized information. You’ll be able to know which wines you share with that person and which wines you both want. Is this cool or what ?

There’s much more to show like the Wine page, the Producer profile or the Wine Shops area. I’ll posting about these pages in the next few days.

Looks great, can’t wait to get my invite!
Just a question… On picture-1, you have several kinds of actions: “tasted”, “wants” and “added”… I guess that “added” means “got it” (added to his wine collection), but… “added” per se is confusing - it could be “added to the wish list” if I hadn’t see the “wants” tag… Maybe you should consider a better name for that action?

@Marcos: Thanks for the comment. The Watchlist is going to have even more items like notes, producers, shops, etc. Because of that we’ll have to simplify some of the terms we’re using as we move along. The one you pointed is probably going to be rechecked next time we take a new look at that page. Thk you
