Q: When do I use tasting notes versus professional reviews versus private notes?
A: Here is a whole FAQ describing all the places where you can store notes and the circumstances under which you should use each.

Q: When reading a tasting note I see references to "1,000 views" for that tasting note. What is a "view," and how are these counted?
A: A "view" is counted every time the tasting note is "rendered" onto a web page by the server, although a user does not increment the view count for their own note. Notes are rendered in many places such as the general list of notes, when you drill down to a wine, on your homepage etc. Note that browsing of the mobile site does not bump the view count, nor does the RSS functionality. The counts are just supposed to let people have some idea of whether other people are seeing the notes, and this is modeled after similar features in many bulletin boards. Obviously the fact that a note is rendered does not mean that it has actually been read.
