Neetzan Zimmerman, formerly an editor at another viral content machine, Gawker, and widely considered an expert in virality, tweeted that the dress is a "viral singularity." It appears to have started with a Tumblr post of the photo, headlined "what colors are this dress," and spread from there as those who saw white-and-gold engaged in pitched battles with the blue-and-black camp.

NZ dollar rises as greenback declines after Yellen seen pushing back rate hikes
The New Zealand dollar rose, driven by weakness in the greenback after Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen suggested the US central bank was in no hurry to raise interest rates. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, fell to 94.260 from 94.371 yesterday after the Fed's Yellen, in a second day of testimony to Congress, repeated the main points of her comments yesterday, suggesting the Fed won't need to raise interest rates for "at least the next couple of FOMC meetings." That prompted some investors to pull back their expectations for a hike. In New Zealand today, traders are awaiting a potential update to Fonterra Cooperative Group's forecast payout to farmers of $4.70 per kilogram of milksolids for the 2014/15 season, following a board meeting yesterday. Prices for whole milk powder, New Zealand's key dairy export, have jumped by about a third over the past two GlobalDairyTrade auctions.
