The Recommendation Age“We are leaving the Information
Age and entering the Recommendation Age.
Today information is ridiculously easy to get, you practically trip over it on the
street. Information gathering is no longer the
issue—making smart decisions based on the
information is now the trick. Recommendations serve as
shortcuts through the thicket of information,”
-Frog Design, Trend Watcher Consultants
