Suspended sanctuary - Nestrest hanging lounger by Dedon : " German furniture firm Dedon has earlier impressed us with the stunning Summer Cloud beach chair, and this time they have the Nestrest. The Nestrest hanging lounger transforms your regular garden sofa into a small architectural piece. An ideal place for relaxation, meditation and conversations, the Nestrest lounger is made from specially created 4cm wide DeDon Fiber. Thanks to the special fiber, the person sitting inside can look out, but the outsider cannot peep into the privacy. Designed by Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety, the distinctive hanging lounger offers you a quiet, suspended shelter. No word on pricing, but the Nestrest is definitely something I personally would love to see hanging in my backyard. Via: Contemporan "

페이스북의 팬보다 트위터의 팔로워가 더 가치있다? : " 트위터나 페이스북을 사용하는 사람들의 성향을 보면 매우 다르다고 합니다. 페이스북이 주로 다른 사람과의 접촉이나 자기 표현, 즐거움이 목적이라면 트위터는 사람들과의 대화나, 영향, 정보 획득 등의 목적을 가지고 사용한다고 하네요. 이러한 SNS별 특성이 같은 환경에서 어떻게 다르게 나타날까요? 리서치 업체인 Exact Target은 "Subcribers, Fans and Followers" 라는 리서치에서 이와 관련된 통계를 보여주었습니다. - 32%의 메일 구독자와 팔로워 그리고 49%의 팬들은 각자의 채널을 통해 기업과 접촉을 하여도 제품이나 서비스를 구입하는 것을 선호하지 않는 것으로 나타났습니다. 하지만 기업과의 접촉을 한 뒤, 구매를 하겠다는 비율은 트위터가 37%로 가장 높게 나타났으며 그 뒤를 메일 구독자 27% 그리고 페이스북이 17%로 최하위를 기록했습니다. - 트위터의 팔로워들은 구매나 추천을 더 많이 하는 것으로 나타나고 있습니다. 이는 트위터가 영향력 있는 팔로워들이 기업의 브랜드를 좋아하고 지지하도록 관계를 구축하거나, 똑같은 시간에 새로운 고객들을 더 많이 확장시킬 수 있는 플랫폼이라는 것을 보여주고 있습니다. 이러한 통계는 SNS 플랫폼 각자가 가지고 있는 특성이 반영되었을 뿐, 한 플랫폼이 다른 플랫폼보다 우월하다거나 열등하다는 것을 보여주는 것은 아닌것 같습니다. 요즘에 보내기 트위터에 보내기 페이스북에 보내기 미투데이에 보내기 "

A delicious Sims breakfast in real life : " The strategic life-simulation computer game Sims was the main inspiration for French collective Paper Donuts’ “breakfast out of paper” photoshoot. The collective decided to use a girl as the Sims character to show what a Sims-breakfast would look like in real life. They even put the well-known “green diamond” over her head to indicate that she is in a good mood. The entire breakfast is made out of paper cut in a way that makes it look pixilated , and it does look very cool, but its taste is rather, shall we say, papery. mm..sliced paper oranges and paper grapefruit juice. The only thing this woman needs is her morning newspaper, which, in a twist of irony, is made out of plastic. Paper eggs, strawberries and sausages, oh my! What will I tell the paper doctor when I have a heart attack? This breakfast ends in the way ever breakfast should end. With a giant candy bar, a cupcake, and a donut. Anything that can be done to accelerate th...
