  almost spot-on. don't think we need silos to act as trusted environments. empower the user to be able to trust/verify/cut off relationships and get balance of power right.

  nope. this is not what VRM means to me. I subscribe to the emergent model of human interactions and modular tools. Building systems is so industrial age.

Our next meeting is on Thursday 27th November, 6-9pm at the same venue as the last month – GfK NOP building in Southwark, Room 15, 9th floor, Ludgate House, 245 Blackfriars Road, London SE1 9UL (map).

Our speaker for this session will be, Nick Buckley, who kindly arranged the venue for VRM Hub until next February. He will talk about what the shift in balance of power between vendors and customers might mean for Market Research and where this might lead to real change rather than incrementally “adaptive adoption” of VRM. As always, I’ll encourage Nick to come at this from his personal perspective as a market research expert but also as someone who has observed the web and its impact on individuals.

I don’t have a link for Nick who is in the process of setting up a blog to continue to share his insight with the world. Good stuff.

Look forward to seeing you there, sign up here.

  horrible story, can't believe a) someone is doing such a thing and b) I fell for it and spammed all my contacts! unwittingly but that doesn't diminish the awfulness.
