Web Goes Wild For World Cup
Posted by: Micah Pratt
With the World Cup just a day away, I would like to share an article from mashable.com about how the World Cup is taking the Web by storm.
Web Goes Wild for World Cup [STATS]
The World Cup doesn’t start for another 10 days, but it’s already blowing up the Web, particularly in the UK.
According to the trend-watching analysts at Hitwise, at least 20% of all searches in the UK last week contained the words “world cup.” Altogether, the World Cup was the subject of around 25,000 individual search terms.
In web search terms, this interest from searchers is nothing short of explosive.

How Social Media Impacts Fashion Industry
by Billy Griffin
The fashion industry is ever changing, each season spawning different trends, fads and faux paus. Social media is now putting a new spin on the already rapidly moving industry.
Until recently, the only consumer-industry interaction has been at the checkout counter or rare red carpet event. With social media booming, we see a new breed of consumer. Taking to the blogs, vlogs and tweets, consumers voice their various trend-tips, style-suggestions and fashion-feedback.
Social media offers fashion brand-loyalists a place to network with each other as well as with the industry itself. No longer does the industry have to depend on alternate trend-spotting sources and risky production decisions, they have a free real-time source of certainty through social media content. Social media now links the consumer directly to the industry.
How will this further change the industry? Due to the rapid response capability of consumers, one can predict an even faster rate of market changes. In the fashion industry, they say one minute you’re hot, the next you’re not. Now, thanks to social media, hot just became cold as consumers trend-in and trend-out through social media content.
