State of Lux

This week see’s the launch of Styleite, a new website dedicated to providing its readers with the latest and greatest in fashion and beauty news, insight, and commentary. Styleite also hosts what they claim to be the web’s most innovative and interactive photo community, Style Sheets.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the site is what they call the “Power Grid”, a statistical analytics tool that sources the web in realtime to reveal which fashion industry icons are being spoken about the most. The tool objectively ranks people based on a number of different metrics,  including anything and everything from blog mentions to circulation, Twitter followers to Google buzz depending on the category.

Styleite is certainly causing a bit of a stir amongst industry pundits and is definitely one we’ll be keeping an eye on.
