Street Style Blogs are Trying to Kill Fashion Magazines

It seems that today, magazines are nothing more than items in a newsstand collecting dusts as street style blogs are being viewed by the millions all over the world – some of them are even turned to international bestselling books.

We can’t deny it that things are changing and most of the things that we see today that are tangible have been turned to their digital counterpart for free consumption.

Street style
blogs, believe it or not, started only as a hobby for most people. Blogs are free to be viewed and as more views a Blog gets, the more opportunity it has for advertising and there is no need to ever charging the readers.

Magazines of course have a lot of costs, from models to photographers and other staffs that works to keep the magazine alive and number one. These magazines aren’t free and people still need to buy them despite the many advertisements available on the pages of the magazines.

People are economical nowadays especially with the sudden decline of the global economy initiated by the United States. It has a domino effect that left a lot of us shocked and cutting coupons to save money when grocery shopping.

Websites like online magazines have also emerged aside from
street style
blogs that seem to be very popular today. The demand for something tangible and to flip through pages seemed to decline and more people are tuning in online for free information and fashion tips.

We all want to save money and through street style we can, as this form of fashion doesn’t bother too much with designer labels. It is actually more encouraged to scour through flea markets than buy from expensive boutiques.

Dressing up can also give you the opportunity to get free items like handbags and shoes.

Wikifashionist.com, a website about fashion that is also becoming popular, has launched their contest called the Summer End Street Style Contest – giving away goodies that are rare to find.

If you are one of the people who are into street fashion then why not try your hand with the contest? There is nothing to lose but so much to gain when joining, you may also have your style posted on a website that everyone might see and take inspirations from. If you are interested, then simply visit wikifashionista.com/contest and the rules will be laid out for you. Join now and show us what you got!

Collaboration and Co-creation: New Platforms for Marketing and Innovation $28 Today’s consumers are more knowledgeable, networked, and vocal. For them consumption is not merely an act of buying products and services, but an expression of their creative potential. Consequently, they are demanding a say and a voice in how companies conceive, develop, and deliver value to them. It is not surprising, therefore, to hear that a large number of companies are transforming how they innovate—not only in terms of developing new products and services, but in how they are created, delivered, and supported to customers. Open Innovation thinking, where companies collaborate with suppliers, distributors, and customers to co-create unique value, is fast replacing traditional thinking that viewed innovation as a proprietary activity and marketing as a static, one-way broadcast. However, while there is significant advocacy and buy-in for collaborating with customers, there is little guidance for companies on how to undertake the journey from applause and appreciation to execution. Only reading about others’ success stories – Nike, Hallmark, P&G, Mozilla, etc. – is not sufficient for helping a company develop a blueprint for themselves. In Customer Driven Innovation, strategy and branding consultant Gaurav Bhalla presents a concrete framework to help companies systematically and effectively design and implement collaborative innovation programs with their customers that can be applied in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer contexts. The authors describe how today’s technologies allow companies to create dynamic dialogues with their customers through shared networks, virtual marketing techniques, and blogs to develop deeper relationships that reinforce brand loyalty and ultimately drive growth. They challenge traditional approaches to market research that measure “customer satisfaction” from a rear-window perspective, and help companies and their customers look forward instead.

Hypertext 3.0: Critical Theory and New Media in an Era of Globalization $180.45 George Landow’s widely acclaimed Hypertext was the first book to bring together the worlds of literary theory and computer technology. Landow was one of the first scholars to explore the implications of giving readers instant, easy access to a virtual library of sources as well as unprecedented control of what and how they read. In hypermedia, Landow saw a strikingly literal embodiment of many major points of contemporary literary theory, particularly Derrida’s idea of de-centering and Barthes’s conception of the readerly versus writerly text. From Intermedia to Microcosm, Storyspace, and the World Wide Web, Landow offers specific information about the kinds of hypertext, different modes of linking, attitudes toward technology, and the proliferation of pornography and gambling on the Internet. For the third edition he includes new material on developing Internet-related technologies, considering in particular their increasingly global reach and the social and political implications of this trend as viewed from a postcolonial perspective. He also discusses blogs, interactive film, and the relation of hypermedia to games. Thoroughly expanded and updated, this pioneering work continues to be the ur-text of hypertext studies.

New Boundaries in Political Science Fiction $44.95 As a follow-up to their 1997 collection Political Science Fiction, editors Donald M. Hassler and Clyde Wilcox have brought together twenty-four noted international scholars representing diverse fields of inquiry to assess more recent influential voices and trends in New Boundaries in Political Science Fiction. The terrors and technologies that permeate our daily lives have changed radically in the past decade, highlighting the underlying speculations on our contested future at the core of this genre. Surveying the vast expanse of recent political science fiction, the editors posit that the defining dilemma for these tales rests in whether identity and meaning germinate from linear progressions or from a continuous return to the primitive realities of war, death, and competition for survival.The collection’s first section focuses on issues inherent in fiction of personal identity and the “new man.” From neuroscience to blogs to the polemic on gender and race, this section investigates democratization of political elements that lead to genuine new identities. The subsequent section explores works that evoke the old power centers of empires and nation states, where larger-than-life heroic systems represent a nostalgic symbol for triumphant human advancement. The final section presents idiosyncratic essays on individual writers and concludes with a comic treatment of America’s current situation in international politics as viewed through a science fiction lens.The writers discussed range from H. G. Wells, Robert A. Heinlein, Ursula Le Guin, and Isaac Asimov to more radical voices such as Iain M. Banks, William Gibson, Joanna Russ, Philip K. Dick, and China Mieville. Whileemphasizing the literature, the collection also addresses political science fiction found on film and television from the original Star Trek through the newest incarnation of Battlestar Galactica.In addition to the editors, the contributors are Marleen Barr, Peter R. Bergethon, Roberto de
