  • Jeff Harbaugh 4/12/12 - "Nike and Their Approach to product Innovation. It's Not All About Team Riders". Jeff makes an interesting comment about how Nike believes premium distribution is one of their components of ongoing success even though consumers can find their products everywhere. I agree with him in that Nike has great product innovation and brand strength which allows them to go anywhere and demand higher prices.
  • Shop-eat-surf 6/7/12 - "Alli Sports and Dogfunk join forces". An article about Alli Sports who owns action sports events partnering with an online retailer. Not necessarily an interesting article, however, describes the amount of people watching these events (1.5m spectators, 50m tv viewers, and over 140 hours of original content). Alli used to run their own online business but soon discovered how hard it was. Therefore, shows that content alone does not mean a direct link to consumers. Web retailers have to be good at what they do.
  • TheKiteboarder.com 5/5/12 - "It’s Official, Kiteboarding to be Included in the 2016 Olympics". Was suprised to see this happen this quickly with a relatively young sport. Wasn't surprised though to see that windsurfing was kicked out though. I tried it once and the learning curve for a beginner was steep.
