[...] Though brands are only beginning to take consumer voices seriously, it is great to see market leaders like Unilever and P&G understanding the limitations of current consumer research procedures, and making efforts to embrace online buzz. Meanwhile, HUL has introduced the concept of a customer ombudsman in india. The ombudsman works on behalf of the consumer and will tackle all cases that cannot be dealt with by Lever Care. A wonderfully radical move, which shows why they are market leaders. Read all about it here. While on the subject, there’s a company called BazaarVoice, which helps brands create business value out of the positive consumer PR they generate. As fanboy cults emerge on Facebook and impromptu brand wars (among consumers) occur on twitter, I think this space has great potential. Speaking of Facebook, they’re also using users as brand ambassadors in Germany. (via Tech Crunch) [...]

I like the idea of having offline social events supplement ONLINE social networks. It’s kind of backwards from the way it is suppsoed to work, but so be it!

PS: and the german facebook users are redirected to facebook.com, even if the type in facebook.de. So it’s much better to choose facebook.com and region “germany” for the chart.

The Google Trends chart is wrong. The URL of studiVZ is studiVZ.net and not .de.

I am german and I use both sites…studivz is so borring and a damn cheap copy of facebook. No updates and real changes in the last few month (almost a year!) on studivz, I have the feeling people in the HQ in Berlin are sleeping…or I don’t know. If you want to be in a real social community and you want to meet friends from overseas, or just keeo in touch with them – YOU HAVE TO BE ON FACEBOOK. That’s why I believe in long termn, FB will make it!
