NWC: A Timeline in Twitter

We are sad to announce the painful decision to lay off two hundred employees across Canada. We find ourselves in a highly competitive market which is forcing us to restructure the company. We are looking to the future and are hopeful for new markets.

#NWC #restructuring #widgets

We are so excited to bring back our Canadian employees who were laid off last December. New markets in #China have us working harder than ever. We are looking forward to having the family back together again. Many thanks to the team for their dedication!
#comeback #NWC #widgets

Sending a warm welcome to our new team members! Our success in #China has been so great we need to #expand. We are so excited to be opening our Regina facility, digging roots in new Canadian soil. We can’t wait to see where we go next!

What a journey.

Fast Fashion

The growth of the “fast fashion” industry has many negative impacts, and it is starting to look like efforts to resolve one problem could just cause others to snowball. It seems like donating unwanted clothing to charities might wash the shopper clean of the guilt of overconsumption, yet do those shoppers know that many charities are bundling up clothes that sit on the racks, and selling them to market vendors overseas? This might not seem so bad, but not only does it conceal and promote Western overconsumption - it inhibits the economies of those overseas markets . Some sceptics of the fast fashion industry say some simple solutions are to buy fewer and better quality products, hold clothing swaps , or to more deeply investigate charities before donating used clothing. It might help fast fashion fans to be aware of the small factors that add up to ultimate overconsumption; and the seemingly irrevocable effects being caused around the world by this industry. $43.6 billion Canadian ...

Coming Home

Seven weeks ago Chris Palliser started as the co-host of the morning show at Virgin 107.3 FM. Palliser has hopped around several Canadian cities in his radio career, and has finally made it back to his hometown of Victoria. It hasn’t always been easy, but every step along the way has led Palliser to where he is today. “Just like anything, you start small and work your way up,” says Palliser. After graduating from Applied Communication at Camosun College he moved to Fort McMurray, this is a period of time he refers to as “Dark December”. “I left Victoria, it was 12 degrees and raining at the end of November,” says Palliser. “I landed in Fort McMurray, it was minus 32 and dark at 2:30 in the afternoon and I thought what the hell did I just do?”             From Fort McMurray, Palliser moved to Edmonton to work for Joe FM. At 25 years old he moved from Edmonton to Vancouver to work for The Beat 94.5. Palliser was excited to b...

Quantity vs. Quality

In his blog post “Because Reading is Fundamental”, Jeff Atwood presents problems with encouraging online bloggers or writers to increase their number of posts by displaying that number next to their name. The article is directed at high school educated, working-class audiences of any gender, between the ages of 18 and 40. Evident by the simple language and the way it is broken up into smaller paragraphs, as well as point form lists. Important text is accented with italics, bold, or different colours, all of which makes it easier to read through with minimal effort or focus. The audience is expected to have experience with blogging and online culture in order to relate to the content. The intention of the piece is to present the idea that it should be more strongly encouraged to read other people’s work than it is to have published many posts. His argument is that the quality of content would increase if users spent more time reading than they did writing. The introduction is not as ...
