Selling luxury goods online: The chic learn to click

Luxury firms are digital laggards, but some are catching up

WHEN Oscar de la Renta, an American fashion house, launched a transactional website some years ago, it expected people to buy mostly smaller items such as belts and perfume. The firm was stunned when it received an online order last spring for an $80,000 sable coat from a new customer in New Hampshire. He couldn’t get to New York, apparently. Online customers have been snapping up the firm’s core product: $4,000 cocktail dresses. “We could not have been more wrong in our expectations of the internet,” says Alex Bolen, the firm’s chief executive. Online purchases are still a small proportion of total sales, but growing rapidly.

Most luxury-goods firms are less open-minded. Many scorn the internet as a plaything for plebs. A product sold online, wrote Jean-Noel Kapferer, a French branding guru, in “The Luxury Strategy”, published last year, ceases to be a luxury item. In early 2008, of 178 luxury firms around the world surveyed by Forrester Research, only a third sold their products on the internet. That figure has risen, but still about half of firms don’t sell online at all, estimates Federico Marchetti, the founder of Yoox Group, owner of Yoox.com, a luxury-goods website. …

Google Caps First Click Free at Five Pages to Appease Publishers

Google Dec. 1 is letting publishers limit the number of articles readers can view for free on its search and Google News site to five per day. The move came the same day News Corp. founder and publishing mogul Rupert Murdoch lashed out at online aggregators for raking in ad revenues from content without compensating publishers. Murdoch, who threatened last month to de-index the Wall Street Journal and other paid content from Google, is reportedly working on a deal that would make Google rival Microsoft Bing’s fledgling search engine an exclusive host partner of Journal and other News Corp. content.

Botnets Tied to Increase in Click Fraud

A report by Click Forensics links a growing amount of click fraud to botnets. The increase in botnet-related activity follows an overall upsurge in click fraud in the third quarter of 2009.

New research from Click Forensics shows botnets are playing a growing role in the spread of click fraud.

Efficient Frontier: Microsoft Bing Gains in Spend, Click Share at Google’s Expense

Microsoft Bing posted quarter-over-quarter gains in paid clicks and spend share, according to Efficient Frontier. Those gains appear to be coming at the expense of Google, whose share of search spending fell to 73.7 percent, from 75.5 percent in the second quarter. Bing’s paid search momentum is muted by a few factors. Google commands some 70 percent of the search advertising spend and its search market share appears insurmountable.

Though recent reports of search market share imply Microsoft Bing may have peaked, the search
engine posted quarter-over-quarter gains in paid clicks and spend share,
according to Efficient Frontier, which published its search engine performance

Reading bar codes with mobile phones: Snap it, click it, use it

A new way to deliver information to mobile phones is spreading around the world

NEGOTIATING his way across a crowded concourse at a busy railway station, a traveller removes his phone from his pocket and, using its camera, photographs a bar code printed on a poster. He then looks at the phone to read details of the train timetable displayed there. In Japan, such conveniences are commonplace, and almost all handsets come with the bar code-reading software already loaded. In America and Europe, though, they are only just being introduced.

Actually, calling them bar codes is a bit old-fashioned, because they store information in a two-dimensional (2-D) matrix of tiny squares, dots or other geometric patterns, rather than a stripe of black-and-white lines of varying thickness. When an image of the matrix is captured, software in the phone converts it into a web address, a piece of text or a number. If a number, it is sent to a remote computer which responds with an instruction that tells the phone to perform an action associated with that particular bar code. …

Italian bloggers went on strike in July to protest against government measures that they claim could kill the internet. They say the Alfano decree restricts the rights of bloggers to express their opinions without fear of comeback.

Italian internet cafe user

Demonstrators online and on the streets say the Italian government is trying to muzzle the internet.

If the Alfano decree becomes law, it would put websites on a par with newspapers, giving a right to reply to anyone who believes their reputation has been damaged by something published on the internet.

But critics say the law is so archaic it barely works in print. Apply it online and it could kill free speech on the internet.

Hefty fines

Alessandro Gilioli, a journalist and organiser of the blogging strike, says the measures could deter people from going online.

"They are discouraging the use of the internet, forcing all the bloggers to rectify any opinion that anybody thinks is hurting his honour or reputation and they are creating big fines, more than €10,000 (£8,500), if you don’t publish your rectification in two days.

"So that means that if a teenager stays two days away from the computer and he doesn’t rectify his opinion, he is going to pay €10,000.

"That’s stupid and that’s incredible and overall that’s discouraging people to use the internet."

The planned rules are not just about correcting factual errors. They give anyone who feels their reputation has been damaged by an opinion the right to have their side heard within 48 hours.

The essence of blogging is that anyone with an opinion on almost anything can share it with everyone, which is why there are so many trenchant views out there.

So much so that most bloggers would dismiss as laughable an obligation to give a right to reply to anyone or any entity they criticise.

Unclear

"If they write something false about me on a website, I have the right to see my opinion published"

Francesco Pizzetti, Italy’s Data Protection Authority

It is not clear if the law Italy’s senate will be voting on in the autumn will extend to bloggers, or, for that matter, who to ask about it.

The Italian Ministry of Justice did not take up Click’s request for an interview.

However Francesco Pizzetti, the president of Italy’s Data Protection Authority says he does not believe the law will apply to bloggers.

"I believe these norms are acceptable. They just state that if they write something false about me on a website, I have the right to see my opinion published and my request for a correction published," he said.

"I don’t believe they create a new obligation, so I don’t believe they concern bloggers. It concerns the websites of newspapers and of the press generally."

Supporters of the law say it is unfair that bloggers can dole out a verbal bludgeoning online without regulation or any journalistic obligation to be fair and balanced.

Critics say a summary fine in the thousands will not guarantee balance but silence.

Behind the times

"These bloggers and the internet are the only escape valve for this information that is free from the control of the big industrial groups who own the newspapers"

Marco Lillo, investigative journalist

Italy’s Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi owns or heavily influences swathes of the country’s media.

Investigative journalist Marco Lillo sees Italy’s bloggers as vital for freedom of speech: "The fact is these bloggers and the internet are the only escape valve for this information that is free from the control of the big industrial groups who own the newspapers.

"They have commercial interests and often have to obtain authorisation and concessions from the government. This means the web is the only place where the editor or journalist is independent. The blogger is his own man."

Italy appears to have a problem with the internet. More than half the population has no web access and one source puts average usage at just two hours a week.

As the Alfano decree suggests, official attitudes to the web are fundamentally out of step with other Western countries. You need an ID, for example, to log-on at a wi-fi hotspot, and there has even been talk of banning anonymity online and obliging bloggers to register with the government.

The Italian government’s uneasy attitude to the internet will likely have a chilling effect on the web’s development in the country, stifling a sector that has elsewhere proven so dynamic economically and politically.

Balls and bots

By LJ Rich
BBC Click

While football has been taking a summer break, teams of programmers have been taking part in a league of their own, the 13th annual Robocup.

"The ultimate goal… is to pit human players against a dream team of robot counterparts"

Robot footballers

Football brings nations together in a celebration of the beautiful game, but what if the football players did not need to train, or even get paid

At the Robocup, recently hosted in the Austrian city of Graz, athletic automata have been doing battle on and off the pitch.

It is not as easy as humans make it look, in particular getting a robot to appreciate the finer points of the offside rule is a whole new ball game.

Robocup teams come in many forms, the physical characteristics range from R2D2 through to C3PO via a strange robot puppy hybrid.

Human skills

Creating technology, be it hardware or software, that is good at football requires a lot of effort. It requires mastery over team work, real-time perception and decision making – difficult enough for some human players, let alone mechanical ones.

The robotic players in a team either talk to each other on the pitch, like a real game, or they all listen to a central computer which issues instructions, formulates tactics, and then controls them via radio – a football manager’s dream.

A typical match at the Robocup involves four robot players and one goalkeeper. The camera above the pitch gathers information and sends it to the central computer for guidance.

Alongside the real robots, Robocup also runs a software competition, where programmers make use of their own AI code to create the ultimate simulated soccer team.

Ultimate goal

robot boots

Majid Gholipour, professor of the Mechatronic Centre at Iran’s Azad University of Ghazin claims that the Robocup is a much friendlier version of the game than human football.

"The goal in sport is usually to win, but here the goal is to make a leap forward in programming," he said. "For example, in the Software League, everyone is expected to release their codes, and place them at the disposal of the other teams.

"Some teams even set up workshops, and tell the other teams: ‘look guys, we have made inroads in these areas, so if you want to use them for next year to make progress, you can.’"

The ultimate goal of the competition’s creators is to pit human players against a dream team of robot counterparts within the next few decades.

For Gerald Steinbauer of Graz University of Technology, the main goal is to the continuing development of the technology:

"If we reach this goal, it’s not so important," he said. "More important is what we are doing on this road to 2050 and if you look back at the last 13 Robocups, there was such good technology and approaches developed, that there is hope that we will have another useful development in the future."
