3 Radical Changes in Consumer Behavior You Must Track Tuesday, April 5, 2011 By Jerry Del Colliano I like to keep readers of this space way ahead on media and consumer trends. There are disturbing consumer habits that are beginning to emerge that may one day become important to decision making and planning. This article is about three radical changes that you will want to track not for what they seem to represent but for their not so obvious hidden message. This article contains three such trends that baffle the mind but have great meaning: 1.  “Online Reputation Cleaners” -- the growing group of companies popping up to erase consumer footprints on the Internet and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.  2.  I’ll hook you up with some popular companies that are cleaning all references to clients off the face of the Internet. 3.  Typewriters are becoming “vinyl”.  Guess who is buying them?  Young people.   Laugh at your own peril.  Don’t worry we’re not headed back to the past, but there is a nerve these typewriter users have hit that will definitely impact the future of social networking and mobile media.  Do you know what it is? 4.  I’ll link you to a published report on young people’s growing obsession with typewriters. 5.  “Hands free email”.  No keyboards on mobile devices and laptops – that’s where we’re headed.  I’ve got a new technology to share that claims to cut 12% off the time you spend doing your email.   It’s up and running now and it’s not voice recognition.  5.  A direct link to how you can test hands free email. “3 Radical Changes in Consumer Behavior You Must Track” – starts now.
