Blogging on the Go

Have you ever seen something funny happen, or heard an interesting comment that you wished you could blog right away, but didn't have a computer nearby? A new trend spotted by Trend Central's Intelligence Group could soon change that dilemma. "Blog bars" are computer terminals that give the public the ability to post in real time and on location. These bars are already popping up in locales as a creative way for consumers to experience brands, stores and events. Consumers can immediately post thoughts and reactions, and pose questions that are immediately answered. If you're a retailer serving mostly young people, you may want to consider picking up on this trend. As Intelligence Group points out, young people can't say enough about how important their online lives and identities are.
