Polyvore - Mix and Match items from anywhere to create your own online wardrobe

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Lets face it, unless one knows exactly what one is shopping for online, one can get lost wasting hours of their life searching aimlessly. One of the reasons why we all love Google is because Google helps up filter through the online mess and narrows into exactly what we’re looking for. Well that’s what Polyvore does but for clothing. Polyvore is an online website that allows users to create a wardrobe of online outfits. All you have to do is sign up (free membership of course), and start piecing your killer outfit together. Polyvore allows users to create, modify, and save their masterpiece to each user’s account. But what makes Polyvore different for all those other shopping search engines is that Polyvore advocates users to publish their collage or “set” and other members of the community has to ability to view and comment.

Just a little something I put together-

Polyvore-MissChicGeek's Set

What I love:

  • from high end to low end, polyvore has an awesome selection of brands and shops
  • has the ability to search by brand or by product type
  • great place to browse for new products you wouldn’t have found if you stuck to a single brand’s website.
  • i love the ability to create my own outfit and publish it to the community.

What I could live without:

  • after selecting an item from the product tray, there isn’t a “close box” option in the popup.
  • has the tendency to show duplicate items even from the same store, i like my search results to be clean.
  • there is something off with the site’s cache. I was playing with my canvas and i navigated to the blog section, navigated back and for some reason it has my old, old set. Good thing I’m big on saving.
  • can’t move the divs. it completely annoys me when I can’t move divs. What if I want to have a better look at what’s in the background?

Honestly aside from a couple of functionality issues, Polyvore is a great site to browse and create some fabulous outfits. Whether you’re browsing or purchasing, Polyvore is a great resource to piece together the perfect outfit. And don’t worry guys, Polyvore has mens clothing as well.

Numbers show girls as good at math as boys

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

I know I don’t normally blog about these types of affairs but I just had emphasize the important of this subject! According to Jill Tucker’s article “Numbers show girls as good at math as boys,” national statistics show females are just as math savvy as males. I don’t want to hear any more preaching about how women are not as proficient as men in math! I’m all for female advancement.

high-five to all the females out there. Only by raising the standard can we advance as a society.

Last.fm in beta version!

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m a HUGE fan of Last.fm. I’m all about the next big underground application. Some even love/hate me because I get them addicted to my addictions. But hey, sharing is caring.

Now I’m pretty sure they are releasing beta version in waves like when Google first released their gmail “beta” version. Maybe I was lucky enough to get an invite because I scrobble 24/7 or maybe they just randomly pulled my account out of a hat. Either way, I got an invite.

Pros:

  • dashboard is A LOT cleaner.
  • “play my radio” function is pretty sweet. it’s conveniently placed in the upper right sidebar position. I love listening to my friend’s top tracks.
  • footer of the page has less banner advertisements (probably because it’s in beta phase but still a perk!)
  • recent activity feed, maybe it’s the stalker in me.

Cons:

  • not all the functionalities are active.
  • feels a bit empty on the left sidebar. considering how long the pages can get it seems to be missing something? It looks as if they shoved all the widgets and content in the middle and right side of the page and left the left side empty.
  • I actually like the header navigation bar of the current page better than the beta page.

hopefully you can get your hands on the beta version soon and judge for yourself. Or if even, shoot an email over an maybe they’ll give you beta access? Just tell them Hey1tsjenny sent you <wink>

but since I’m a giver, here is a snapshot

Last.fm Beta

now show me the new widgets!
