Bathroom Scale Ratings

What Your UGC Or Community Site Can Learn From Google+ And Quora

We have a lot to learn in the upcoming Clash of the Titans cage match:  Google vs. Facebook.

The nastiness has already started with Facebook blocking the chrome extension to download FB friends and numerous petty PR quips. Twitter further kicked the hornets’ nest by letting their data agreement with Google lapse. (This was a move that seems to have caught the Google product and communications teams entirely off-guard – check out Vanessa Fox’s post which broke the story .)

Every site that has some dependence on user generated content or community interactions can learn a lot about building a robust, self-sustaining market by watching the marketing of Google Plus during the upcoming months.

It was (ironically) a Facebook post from Online Marketing veteran Greg Boser that made me sit up and really take Google Plus seriously.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that some of the most impressive minds in technology have delivered an outstanding product. From superior functionality, to their trademark clean interface, Plus is a major step forward in social networking.  This is, quite simply, a better mousetrap.

Google’s challenge is that improved functionality is necessary, but not sufficient, to unseat Facebook. (I’m reminded of comments on my post “ The Fallacy of the Superior Search Engine ” which suggested that Bing’s search results would have to be amazingly better to push anyone to switch their default search engines.)

Every freshly minted MBA can explain the concept of the network effect – the value of some things increases exponentially with adoption. The common example is telecommunications – i.e. one telephone in the world is particularly useless, but the more people who have a telephone, the more valuable the network of telephones.

Companies launching new network-focused products have dealt with this issue by priming a market, exposing a core group of power users to the product in hopes that the network will build from there. We’ve seen this in private betas repeatedly.

Google has employed this approach with the launch of Plus. They’ve successfully used scarcity to develop a feeding frenzy among technogeeks desperate to get an invite into the temporarily walled garden. “Sorry, no more invites available today, we’re closing the beta for now.”  “Get them while they last!” I felt like I was at a frat party towards the end of the evening hoping to get my plastic cup filled before the keg ran out.

Weight Watchers Portable Precision Electronic Scale | Bathroom Scales

The Weight Watchers WW-11D Portable Precision Electronic Scale is an oversized and easy to use scale with a digital display measuring 1.3 inches. It shows your weight in increments of 0.2 kilogram or 0.5 pound. It can weigh a high capacity of 150 kgs or 330 lbs, and utilizes a semiconductor technology with single-load cell system to give you accurate readings. It even comes with a wide handle to make it easy to store or take with you. The bathroom white color certainly lends visual appeal to this bathroom scale.

To activate the scale, you simply have to tap on it, and as soon as you read zero, you can step comfortably onto the platform. The non-slip platform measures 12 x 12 inches to give you ample room. The scale runs on a lithium battery that is expected to last you a lifetime.

Weight Watchers Portable Precision Electronic Scale Review:

The close to fifty customers who reviewed this bathroom scale gave it an average rating of 2.9 stars. Unfortunately, there were more people who gave it a 1.0-star rating than those who gave it 5.0 stars.

Some reviewers liked how it was very attractive and accurate. One user commended it for being portable, too, while being accurate up to half a pound. The convenient handle was appreciated for making storage easy, and one reviewer noted that the scale did not seem to be sensitive to water or to getting dropped. She also appreciated how the scale came with a lithium battery upon purchase, and that it was expected to last an entire lifetime, erasing the need for buying more batteries in the future. Several other reviewers described it as a great value for the price they paid, too.

Meanwhile, many other reviewers described it as highly inconsistent. Strangely, one user commented that the observation of this scale as inconsistent while being enjoyed by a lot of the users were both true. It turned out that the scale was extremely sensitive to uneven flooring, largely due to its single load cell technology. The user performed an experiment with the scale, and found that the inaccurate readings were usually done on floors that were not hard and flat. Another user pointed out that you had to make sure you stood in the exact same spot every time, as it would also affect the weight readings. He also noticed that having the scale measure the weights of people who seemed to be of similar weight tended to have it show the same readings, but a simple reset solved the problem.
