The Loud3r the Better

The internet is a bit of a semantic minefield and far too much science for us fashion folk. Why spend time ruminating over whether to use speech marks when searching for 'fashion blogs' when Google will still wind up bringing you 537,000 in .25 seconds? Sometimes technology can be too efficient. I still like the idea of the human interface somewhere in the picture. It gives me hope that I won't be wearing moon boots and PVC anytime soon (such a bad look); which is why I've taken a bit of a shine to the LOUD3R fashion websites. These glamour geezers basically gather and publish the best content from blogs, news and editorial sites, including photos and videos for both male (DAPP3R) and female (GLITT3R) fashion. By ranking the content and pushing the most important stories to the top, you get all the best bits of an automated semantic engine with the benefit of human editors who know a thing or three about user behavior and community feedback. As you'll notice, I Blog Fashion is featured on both DAPP3R and GLITT3R which is clear indication of good taste. I insist you pay a timely visit!
