Anyone know why Farnell is changing their name to "element 14"? Maybe they
are in real trouble in Australia. There stock levels have been low lately.
Any help?On 25/10/2010 9:06 AM, Geoff C wrote:

was there a news report?

Ok thanks Geoff.I think that is a different crowd. Looks like Farnell in Aus are no more.
We think that sales are now out of Asia to Aus. The only news I saw was the
reular Farnell spam this morning.
Yeah, I hardly look at Farnell spam, only that the heading was markedOn 25/10/2010 10:45 AM, Geoff C wrote:

last farnell spam I got was the 22nd, and guess what?
I checked my email trash box, and of course I suppress graphics
initially with my email program, and there it was in a graphic
message, sitting in my trash box.

Now I guess I will get element14 spam. Must be time to unsubscribe.
Next time I purchase I guess I will opt in again. It is just a bit too
regular to be comfortable.

No, they are "rebranding" to "Element-14" which has been their (poorly
designed IME) online blog/community name for some time now. They have been
pushing that really hard. Content providers beware, like most other online
engineering communities/forums they are fishing around for free blog
content. Freebies to be had in exchange for providing content for their
site etc.
RS "DesignSpark" and Farnell's "Element-14" are going to beat each other
to a pulp to be the online engineering community of choice. Both now other
free PCB designs tools.
Some dickhead marketing/director person will get a big promotion for
suggesting the branding change no doubt.

Dickheads - hey maybe they hired the ex Microchip PicKit3 manager/eng.
Element14 sounds more like a game my kids would play, I've visited the
element14 site a couple of times and left unimpressed. I needed to place a
Farnell order, I'm going with RS instead.
Farnell has owned Newark for several years.I've bought stuff recently from Newark, who a couple of months ago
reported being taken over by Farnell. However their website and
ordering remain unchanged, and at the time I found that Farnell's
prices on the items I wanted were around around double Newark's.

I checked when I noticed the similarities in branding.
