We're always looking for ways to help our Foodies Connect!
We're very excited to tell you that we've just launched Chat for Foodies on Dancing Spoon Community. With our new online chat you can have conversations with other members in real time. You can even have private chats.
The Live Chat Window
Here's how to use Chat for Foodies:
To start a Chat go to the very bottom of the Dancing Spoon window. If you're not already Signed In click on "Sign in to Chat!" Sign in to Dancing Spoon Community. (You must be a member to use chat. Membership is free.)
After you're signed in you can select a separate chat window that you can place anywhere on your desktop.
· Chat is in the same place on every page of your social network. Chat lives in a bar across the bottom of every page of Dancing Spoon Community. It will start in "bar mode" and will expand into "window mode".
· You will be able to "pop" the chat window out of your network and keep it open as its own window.
· Sound notifications when messages are received. Notifications start OFF by default, but can be turned on through the options menu.
· Members will be displayed as online when signed in. And there is an option for a member to make themselves invisible, if they choose.
· Chat loads the entire list of people who are online.
· Chat remembers the last ten messages sent and allows to look at them by pressing Ctrl+UP and Ctrl+DOWN (arrow keys).
· Chat is now a Flash application. This means that you need to have a minimum of Flash 9 on your computer. You likely already have Flash 9 and, if not, we'll have instructions for how to add it.
Let us know how you like our Chat for Foodies and if you'd like to see other features.

Aerates your wine while you pour it!
The
Soiree is a wine accessory that fits into any standard corked wine
bottle, and comes with an extra gasket that will work with any screw
cap bottle; allowing you to pour, without dripping, directly through
the Soiree. Once you place the Soiree in the wine bottle, the Soiree
aerates your wine as you pour it. The Soiree allows you to decant just
the portion of wine you want - a glass or a carafe. The Soiree can also
be used to pour the wine into a decanter, further expediting the
"opening" of your wine. Soiree fits securely into any wine bottle
allowing you to pour, without dripping directly through the Soiree. In
using the Soiree to aerate your wine, you will notice the subtleties
and character of the wine emerge immediately upon entering your glass.
Soiree delivers a truly open wine just by pouring through it!Hand selected wine accessories are at Foodie's Emporium! Click here.
