Rating:  - Kinda SortaI've definitely become aware of when I don't have my shoulders properly pulled back. But is it supposed to do more than that? I don't know if it's really working or not. I don't feel bad for the money I paid for it though, and that's always a plus. Rating:  - Great HelpI found this product to be a great help in reminding me to keep my shoulders back. It's a little difficult to get off, but it wouldn't be doing you any good if it wasn't tight enough. You definitely need to wear it over a tee shirt, as it would leave your armpits raw otherwise. I have some neck problems, and found I could only wear it for a couple of hours without it putting too much strain on my neck. But that's been enough. Doing that has helped me to remember to keep my shoulders back throughout the day. For the price, it's a great product. Rating:  - Rides up...After wearing this brace for 20 minutes on the tightest setting, it stretched out and did not pull my shoulders back like it is designed to. It also started to ride up my back towards my neck which made it entirely useless. I guess you do get what you pay for... the shipping was as much as the product! Rating:  - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEYI'm sorry, but this item is a joke. There is absolutely nothing to this piece of elastic. The view is of the back and that is all there is, there is no front. Take a piece of elastic and put a rubber band at each end and there you have the "Posture Perfect Band, Back Support Brace" HA! Not worth returning, postage is more than the product. I wouldn't even rate this product with a -0, but I had to fill in all blanks and 1 star was as low as I could go. Rating: - You get what you pay for!I purchased this item for my daughter as she is quite the sloucher; I was sick of poking my finger between her shoulder blades to get her to stand up straight. This product lasted one day on her. She had major chafing in her underarm area, and it was constantly "riding up" since the elastic didn't seem to pull back. The other reviews are correct in that the product did not come with any instructions; just tossed in a plastic baggie and shipped off. Heck, I didn't even know there was a "this end up" until I read another review. At least it wasn't a major expense. |
Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
