Social networking is a happening these days and is steadily taking many dimensions. Following the trend and sensing the need for social networks, another social network based site Trendmill has been officially opened to everyone. Trendmill allows people to intermingle with each other through fashion and art. Working on the philosophy of “Find, Show, Influence,” the site lets the members have their say on what’s hot and what’s not in the world of fashion and art by uploading pictures and videos along with description and the buying process.
In nutshell, Trendmill offers its members the ability to:
• Show off their style
• Sell their clothes and accessories
• Tip people as to where they buy the threads that make them so stylish.
Earlier, Trendmill was ‘invite only’ site but it has now opened its doors to everyone sensing the potential of the word ’social networking’. The site hasn’t missed the very important editorial section where the users can look for the top 5 articles, interviews, features and daily web findings. The home page is appealing with different section tabs named Gallery, People, Mill, Industry, and last but not the least Editorial.
Gallery: Here, the visitors can look out for items uploaded based on category, top rated, newest, most discussed and hottest.
People: Social networking is all about interaction between the users. Here, visitors can find out the other users and friends of the same interests.
Mill: This section gives you an overview of the top rated items per category. E.g. hottest Girl’s wear or worst Guy pants.
Industry: A place to get up-to-the-minute industry news, find new brands, media, independent designers and other professionals within the industry. Users can check that whether the pair of trousers they like is from some other user or from the corporate level.
Editorial: This section features top 5 lists, interviews, ‘On the Street’ commentary, guides and reviews along with the articles written by Trendmill’s own members.
A social networking site doesn’t make any sense if there is no place for ‘comments’. The site allows people to leave comments at the profile page and private messages can be sent like an e-mail via message center. The site also allows industry profiles to submit their RSS feeds in oder to get updated content from their side. Each profile permits users to write articles about whatsoever they want.
The concept of social networking is catching up lately at a swift pace since everyone associated with web 2.0 knows very well the importance of it and the benefits that they could reap from it.
