Traditionally, booze and social networking have always gone hand in hand. During the 20th century, men and women would leave their homes and visit drinking locations called “bars” and “pubs.” There they would imbibe various beverages and, if the fates intervened, would go home with each other for coffee and perhaps a moment or two of Bible study. Those, friends, were simpler times.

With the rise of electronic social networking, however, we find that the boozing imperative is sorely lacking. You could potentially send a friend a virtual beer on Facebook and most MySpace pages require ether or nitrous to truly appreciate in their gaudy brilliance but there is no one place you can go to meet some folks with similar interests and, ultimately, meet for coffee and/or the aforementioned Bible study. That was until CocktailMatch.

CocktailMatch is a good idea. It segregates its users by drink preference and creates a dark and smoky atmosphere where singles and like-minded drinkers can congregate and mingle. The main building block is the vBar. You can create these virtual bars on the fly and invite friends and post news and comments, just like any other social network. Because you form little tribes you basically ensure that you don’t have to mix with wine drinkers or cigar smokers when you hit the whiskey bar. They are supposed to focus on the different personality traits suggested by the various types of drink - the perception that wine drinkers are calm and composed, tequila drunks are surly and angry - but in a good way.

The site itself has improved over the few versions I’ve seen and it seems to be ready for common use. The main goal, said founder Alfonso Escamilla, is to bring older folks into the social networking equation, folks who might be turned off to Facebook’s obsessive attention to your personal details and/or many on-line dating sites’ obsessive attention to getting you to pay them. As a combination social network and dating system you kind of get the best of both worlds while creating a virtual meat market that rivals the Regal Beagle during the days of Mr. Roper.

The concept is strong and fun but the site is a work in progress. Many of the features are hard to figure out and there are some typos in the default messaging. It’s a bit sparse right now, as well, but I just added Porkys to the site so we can all congregate and even surprise old Mrs. Balbricker.

How to Use the Advanced zigime Editor:

Backgrounds – don’t keep the default zigime layout – it’s very simple. People like and remember non-standard images and backgrounds so I recommend you go to Photobucket.com and search myspace background or layouts and then look at all the available backgrounds and layouts and pick one that matches your liking. Once you found copy that image url and save to theme generator. Applying is easy. Just click MY PROFILE then click theme generator(sub modules) then there is one option background image you just copy that url and click apply button.

• Background image ~ First of all, decide if you want to use a background image or not. If you do want a background image then you’ll need to upload it to an image hosting service like ImageShack and photobucket, etc. Then assuming you used ImageShack— get the web address, image URL, to the image you uploaded. Make sure you copy the ‘direct link to image’ web address. Then paste that web address into the Background image text box and click apply button.

• Repeat background? ~ This refers to whether you want the background image tiled (repeated) horizontally and vertically to fill the entire web page or if you just want it displayed once. If you have one big image or photo, click to select None. If you have a small image such as a patterned background, click anyone of the options like Across, down, across and down.

• Scroll background? ~ Click to select Yes if you would like the background image to move along with the text when you use the scrollbars to scroll through your web page. Click to select None if you would like the background image to remain fixed in place when you scroll through your web page.

• Color PICKER ~ Click Colorpicker image to open a colorpicker it contains predefined web colors. Click on the color you like and it will automatically be applied to the associated option.

• Section border color ~ All the various components in your Zigime profile, such as Contacting, Interests, Details, Groups are rendered in boxes which are drawn with the use of HTML tables. This is why these boxes are commonly referred to as ‘Sections’ in Zigime layout. You can use the ‘Section color’ option to define the background color displayed in all your Sections.
