August 16, 2004 -- Aboutglasstile’s new issue profiles American mosaic artist Linda Fahey and French glass tile manufacturer Opiocolor. This is the first in a series of distinct, theme based “issues” of the site, as Aboutglasstile.com takes on the look and feel of an online magazine.
The web has changed the way people shop for specialty products like glass tiles, but will never replace the dealer’s showroom, according to Aboutglasstile’s concept designer, John Dumbrille: “People still need to see and feel these products in person. But starting out cold in a showroom is unnecessarily limiting, not to mention frustrating, as each store offers only a small subset of what’s out there. Today it makes sense to begin selection by window shopping on the web, and then working down to the appropriate distributor.”
But the web is mostly suited to directed searches, not window shopping: web data is inherently atomized, and searches are never comprehensive. “No matter what search tool you use, a search for glass tiles is returned with an incomplete list of corporate sites. We’ve grown used to flipping through the top 10 or 20 results, but this partial list of information ‘silos’ isn’t what the computer user is typically looking for.”
Operating since May 2004, and now offering a syndicated RSS feed, Aboutglasstile is bringing together comprehensive information about glass tiles, including showrooms, tile samples, installation details, marketplace listings and forums. “We want to show people what’s out there,” says Dumbrille. “If we can effectively showcase the range of original glass tile, it should be a matter of quickly linking to the appropriate dealer to find out more.”
