Stop Focusing On The Technology, Focus
On How It's Useful 02/11/2004 04:14 PM
We've mentioned this before, but the whole focus on "blogging" itself seems to get too much attention, compared to what it's actually useful for. Over on the corporate side of Techdirt where we provide daily information and analysis to companies - in the form of a blog - we tend not to use the word "blog" unless we know we're dealing with people who are quite familiar with the term. We've found that it focuses the conversation in the wrong direction. In fact, a large percentage of our customers have no clue what a blog is even though they're using one every day. It appears that the folks at Disney have realized the same thing. Tim Bishop has a great post talking about how Disney started using blogs, RSS and aggregators by making sure no one heard those three words at all. Instead, they made them fit into existing structures and processes - just making them much more useful. Ross Mayfield has more details.

Girls Vs. Boys: Girls Are Winning

Girls Vs. Boys: Girls Are Winning 09/07/2004 10:13 AM

This article in The Observer about the upcoming trend of girl gadgets happens to interview our buddies over at Shiny Shiny, which couldn't be a better choice, really. And by 'upcoming' I mean 'already eclipsed male spending,' at least in the US, with 14 percent more money being dropped last year by women than men.

Women are not so interested in how many megabytes it has, nor indeed whether it looks nice, just: "How well does it work?"

It's only when I buy something that ends up really sucking and languishing in the corner do I ever get the stern eye, which is how it should be.

Sun City Girls

Sun City Girls 05/06/2004 10:24 AM
BB pal Erik Davis has posted the full text of a feature he wrote for The Wire about the Sun City Girls, the most eclectic, prolific, and weirdest cowpunkers the southwest has ever unleashed:

"Sun City Girls traffic with bizarre miscegenations, self-indulgent trash, and hardcore mystic exotica. Their sometimes garish album covers attack the eye with devils, yonis, sacred transvestites, and nubile native jailbait. Lyrics, song and album titles -- 'Naga Smoke Signals,' 'The Genghis Necro-Nama-Khan,' 330,003 Crossdressers from Beyond the Rig Veda -- can sound like the spontaneous verse of young poetes maudites tanked up on National Geographic cheesecake and A Pictorial History of Magic and the Supernatural. This lurid romance with the Other fuels some of their most incandescent sounds as well, a music of transport that explores Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and South American atmospheres with a passion composed equally of informed pleasure and the heedless appropriation of the strange. Looking high and low, far and wide, the Sun City Girls have sought the wellsprings of the weird, of what H.P. Lovecraft called outsideness, and when they have found them, they have taken what they wanted."

Daddy's Little Girls?

Daddy's Little Girls? 01/07/2004 01:58 PM
Laura's Girls Jenna and Barbara have not campaigned or reined in their adolescent rebellions. They have not appeared engaged in any of the pressing issues their generation will inherit, nor shown empathy for the struggles facing their mother and their father, the president of the United States. They have not treated with respect their Secret Service details, those highly trained men and women who literally would take a bullet for them. They don't show their faces at the White House often. So far, they have shown little inclination to embrace the life of public service modeled by their parents, uncle and grandparents. They are girls born rich, blessed with intelligence, good looks, trust funds, loving parents, boundless opportunities, freedom from many of life's daily vexing challenges. Yet they persist in seeing themselves as victims of daddy's job. In this attitude, they have been subtly encouraged by their mother.

Here's something I've never seen. While downloading a new patch to Style XP, I noticed they offer two versions of the full product, one for "Men" and the other for "Ladies." One has pink themes, the other manly ones. That seems odd and really stupid.

And to anyone that's ever heard Demetri Martin, you'll probably agree the term "ladies" lends an extra air of creepiness.

Torrid: Hot Topic for heavy girls

Torrid: Hot Topic for heavy girls 04/06/2005 02:05 AM
Cory Doctorow: Salon has a fascinating piece on Torrid, a growing chain of alterna-clothing stores for "XL-teens" (overweight kids, apparently mostly or all girls). This is the sister-store to Hot Topic, a wildly successful chain of mall-goth stores that aggregates head-shop wares, hipster tees, Nightmare Before Christmas tchotchkes, etc, and brings them from the Haight to the mall.

The social factors inherent in selling large-sized clothes to teens are really complicated (when a group of girls goes shopping together, do the skinny girls join their heavier friends at the Torrid?) and the article does a good job of turning them up, including a coda about whether a plus-size fashion botique encourages obesity ("You don't lose weight by tough love, whether from your mother or your local clothing store. It's a personal choice, and a difficult choice -- and if I can't do it for myself, I'm not going to do it for the Gap.")

For some girls, even one piece of clothing can mean the difference between enjoying a party and hiding in a corner, or not going at all. Erica Santiago, a 17-year-old with orange-streaked hair, giant rave pants, and zipper-pull earrings, was shopping recently in Torrid's Staten Island store. While fielding calls on her pink cellphone, Erica, who says she feels "really comfortable" with herself at about 185 pounds, described the thrill of finding a trendy bathing suit that fit. "Before, I wouldn't even dare try them on. I would just guess, get home, have them not fit, and then return them," she says, noting that those that did fit were hideous. If forced to go near the water, she'd wear a T-shirt over whatever abomination she'd settled for. At Torrid, however, she found a suit she loves, black with star-shaped studs near the neck. She's now done away with the coverups, she says. "I feel more confident -- really good. It feels great to be able to go to a pool party and actually wear a bathing suit." (Torrid also does big business at prom time and Halloween.)...

But here's the problem with shopping online -- and off -- for teens, though: For many of them, shopping is inherently, or at least ideally, a group event. "Girls especially are incredibly social about shopping," says Callender of Teenage Research. When they shop online, they miss potential hangout time with their friends. But when they shop in an actual store, one that's not wall-to-wall plus sizes, it sucks. "I typically avoid certain stores because the people that work or shop there make me feel uncomfortable, says Savannah Rios, 16, of Las Vegas (who wears size 14 to 16). "There have been a few times where I'll be at a store and I'll ask for my size and they give me a weird look and tell me they don't have it. It's frustrating." But at Torrid, she says, "You feel comfortable when you're in there because you don't have girls looking at you weird because you're not a size zero."

Girls Top Guys in Tech Purchases

Girls Top Guys in Tech Purchases 05/28/2004 03:36 PM

A "news report" on the KELO website says that women are outspending men on tech gadgets.

Women have crossed the digital divide that once separated them from the male-dominated world of technology. Last year, women spent fourteen percent more than men on electronics.

Now whether that is related to the reasons outlined in the article, or due to women buying tech toys for the boys in their lives is anybody's guess. Gee, maybe the reason they buy more is that when a gadget stops working, they tend to throw it away and buy new instead of dealing with fixing it. If the way the women in my life handle things technical is at all indicative of the population in general, I'd say that'd be it.
