An invention dubbed the “selfie stick” is making waves in Asia, and we have a feeling this trend will soon take hold in the states as well. Indonesian entrepreneur Diana Hemas Sari, 21, invented this extendable metal wand so multiple people could take part in a selfie – or should we say, groupie?
One end features a handle, the other a plastic fixture that allows for the clipping in of a smart phone. Sari explained to the Huffington Post that the “selfie stick” eliminates the middleman by allowing a group to take a picture themselves, rather than asking a stranger on the street. In addition to extending up to three feet, the mechanism is also collapsible.
This trend has conveniently emerged on the heels of The Chainsmokers’ dance mega hit “#Selfie,” which debuted at #55 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Since its release, 92,000 copies of “#Selfie” have sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. We don’t often give business advice, but perhaps Alex and Drew of The Chainsmokers should take advantage of this obvious marketing opportunity ;).

This design is incredible! You certainly know
how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost
moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
Right now it looks like Expression Engine is the top blogging platform
available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of
any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was
hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything.
I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
