"Selling seaweed that doesn't exist" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-10 04:00:24

Some suggest that the professional journalists in the Main Stream Media are responsible and carefully edited while bloggers have no principles checks or balances but if a short seller came to our editor with a tip with the intention of driving down the price of a stock he would either tell her to take a hike or look at her claim awfully carefully. The New York Times appears to have done neither in their "investigation" of Lululemon which has been picked up around the world. They took a Lululemon shirt purporting to have seaweed in it to labs which found none. They say the fabric contains fiber from Seacell and call it a "seaweed fiber." I googled it and found that what should come up first but a 2-1/2 year old TreeHugger post that says Seacell fabric "incorporates 5% seaweed content" the balance being "wood pulp fiber made by a unique Lyocell process." "In the "Lyocell process“ which is named after the fibre itself pure wood pulp is physically dissolved for the first time and directly returned to fibre form using a simple method. The auxiliary substance used for this can be removed from the fibre with ease due to its good water mixing capacity it is environmentally-friendly bio-degradable and can be recovered by more than 99.6%. " It has been around for a number of years and "The European Union awarded this process the Environmental Award 2000 in the category "technology for sustainable developments". It is "an environmentally compatible and thus interesting alternative for the future. Moreover the Lyocell fibre is considered to be the cleanest cellulose fibre. More information on Lyocell here. Lyocell is purported to feel different from cotton: "One associates optimum moisture and heat management with the Lyocell fibre i e one does not perspire with covers of Lyocell and although one perceives a pleasant coolness one does not freeze at the same time. The fibre breathes with the body absorbs a lot of moisture very quickly and then releases this to the outside thus preserving the warmth level." which is pretty much what Lululemon says about its product. Seacell is a variant on Lyocell: "a special fiber manufactured according to the Lyocell process using cellulose combined with seaweed. What’s amazing about this development is how the seaweed has been permanently incorporated into the fiber locking the effects of the marine substances into the fiber for good." Seacell suggests all kinds of wonderful properties for its fibre and provides third party certification for it: "On the basis of the DE/016/0003 contract for label usage. SeaCell GmbH is entitled to use the ecological symbol of the European Union (Eco-label) for its SeaCell® pure product as evidence of its exceptional environmental friendliness. SeaCell® pure also meets the requirements of ÖKO-TEX Standard 100 and may therefore be sold as an ÖKO-TEX-certified fiber. ::Seacell Now this TreeHugger is no chemist and passes no judgement on whether SeaCell is as wonderful as it is supposed to be but it does not surprise me that it is hard to find elements of seaweed in a fabric that is 24 % seacell which is 95% wood pulp where the stuff is all thrown into solvents physically dissolved and then reformed into a cellulose fiber. Our resident expert says. "at the chemistry level sampling a final product for proteins and minerals (which are almost certain to be water soluble) that had been subjected to a chemical hot water pulping process assuming that they are viable indicators or the raw material origins is pretty dumb as far as lab method selection goes." Lululemon buys a product that has been sold in Europe for years and is third party certified to contain 5% seaweed. The Times should have looked at the fiber manufacturer's spec sheet and bothered to note these facts instead of just "looking for seaweed" and implying that Lululemon is trying to pull a fast one- there is a chain of trademarks and certifications right back to the source. The short seller may be very happy today but Times readers should not be. ::New York TimesPosted by siobhan on November 22. 2007 09:42 AM

"Hey! Nielsen - User Opinion Site, Widgets" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 02:15:34

is a relatively new offering from Nielsen - your friendly neighbourhood consumer tracking corporation. It is move stats site part community site and all Web 2.0. It is actually pretty feature rich and takes some getting to experience. First of all. HN allows for the posting of opinions. The community aspect of this part of the platform allows for others to rate the thing about which the opinion is posted and also to react to the opinion itself. For example there is currently an opinion about Google entitle "Sorry. Google is evil". Here one can 'evaluate' Google and 'react' to the opinion. Drilling down on the subject of opinion one is then presented with more data about that thing. The main focus on this page is the Nielsen Buzz Chart which includes the day to day Hey! Nielsen score and an additional chart showing buzz in the blogosphere drawn from BlogPulse. Below is the page for FireFly: It is perhaps a shame to see the BlogPulse data without a vertical measure so I'm not entirely sure what it is. The explanation describes it as daily volume but I'd be surprised if this wasn't being normalized. The Hey! Nielsen advance is a real-time indicator of a topic's force and value and you compete a study role. As the site evolves and users submit their opinions and commentary the score will go or fall based on a number of factors including but not limited to user opinions news coverage and raw data from our sister sites Billboard com. HollywoodReporter com and BlogPulse com. However it is interesting to see a new metric being put out there and an effort to create something around it. Nielsen would do well to provide more details about the formula being used. Hey! Nielsen is a fun intersection of a number of social and Web 2.0 ideas. The main purpose of the site seems to be to give opportunities for users to express opinions and to associate metrics with those opinions - data which is surely being fed approve in to the Nielsen machine in many ways. One key metric that I'd be interested in finding out is the growth of users of the site. Currently there doesn't appear to be much traction in the blogosphere though there are a number of widgets that the site makes available. Have you seen any in the wild? Nice web portal powered by web2.0,Internet is place to find a potential costumer. Metrics provide us where we are heading with the web 2.0 technology now we can create great applications with this kind of metrics. Recently I have go across similar place which was discussing the Web 2.0 Technology.

"Learning how to use LinkedIn" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-29 20:06:34

but wanted to say that I attended a free telephone seminar about it last night. A version for replay ordain be made available on and. A few things stood out to me during the hour-long session: desire every other social networking tool one has to use LinkedIn in order to derive benefit from it. Using means checking LinkedIn weekly or several times a week making new connections following-up on old ones updating your information etc. You need to fully develop your profile with lots of information on what you do and what you undergo done. This will help people sight you and understand your qualifications before talking with you. Getting your profile fully developed can take a bring together of hours but you do not have to do it all at once. You may be able to use text from your bear on although eventually you may be the information to sound less resume-like. Be sure to make meaningful connections with populate. Don't just accept anyone as a connection since you may be called upon to introduce them to someone or make a recommendation. If it is weak connection that you want to keep act time to alter it a stronger connection. By the way you can delete someone as a connection and they won't experience it. Ask for and give recommendations. Okay.. you may conclude funny asking for recommendations but surely you can furnish some. Look at your connections and give recommendations to those populate whose bring home the bacon you determine. You don't have to do the recommendations all at once but try to bequeath to give them when you undergo time. Proof your profile. If you're like me typos will go in so create proof proof. And believe having a friend on LinkedIn create your compose for you or even give you advice on what you could include that you haven't included already. I have to admit as I was listening to the teleseminar (over Skype and on my headphones). I was editing my profile and putting their suggestions into practice. Just a few changes made a big difference in how my profile looks and how I evaluate it will be perceived.
