Real-Time Reviews

Check out Trendwatching.com’s “10 CRUCIAL CONSUMER TRENDS FOR 2010.” Number 3 on the list: Real-Time Reviews. As people continue to share (in real time) everything they buy, watch, eat, wear, attend and so on, and with even more search engines and tracking services making it easy to find and group these ‘live dispatches’ by theme, topic or brand, 2010 will see ready-to-buy consumers tapping into a live stream of experiences from fellow consumers.
