clipper's remarks: If you know me, you know I love reading about food, food culture and the food industry. Why? I'm obsessed!
Anyway, I think, I will order this for the library so I can read it. Interesting interview too!

By Nicole Pasulka

You think food writers have an ethical responsibility to discuss sustainability?

What about the rest of us? Why should we bother learning about our seafood?

Fascinating use of Twitter by Zappos from RWW

clipper's remarks: Not that I'm a big marketer or know anything about marketing but this was pretty fascinating. I like the fact that now employees in other countries (China & Indonesia are the examples) can tweet about their work conditions. What does this say about the global community & global companies? I mean, if you know about working conditions in China, how will that affect the way you shop? Pretty interesting.

Zappos Shows How Social Media Is Done

Of all the different types of social media the company uses, none are as interesting as its use of Twitter. Twitter may sound cliche, but it's not just about Twitter as one single service. Twitter is symbolic of rapid, short, synchronous and public conversations. Zappos has bitten off a big chunk of that paradigm.

Now if there were shoe factory employees in China or Indonesia tweeting in English about their working conditions making shoes that will be sold on Zappos ("carpal tunnel for dollars an hour pays rent on hovel-like family dorm in company compound. damn these shoes. pic: tinyurl.com/...") - that might not be so desirable. Luckily for the brand, like people say - Twitter isn't mainstream yet.
