Age Rich

It was not long ago we were embracing the information age. Most of us still think we're at it. But the consequence of the age information is the sheer volume of information on any given subject product or service. We are forced to spend a lot of time sifting through sites, bits and bytes to [hopefully] find out what we're after.

Be it music, movies, books and other products of the many options makes it more difficult to find what we want, but also gives us a rich picking list: This list is huge has arisen because a) the production has been democratized: Never before any human being anywhere could operate independently to carry anything of value to the world stage, either a sound track, desktop image background, the story of Flash, the programming service of computers, or even, increasingly, a commentator for payment, b) distribution now takes the form of bits and bytes, which means zero stock holding goods for companies like Amazon to print books on demand and iTunes to offer music in bytes.

These two forces create wealth in the choice and transform information into marketable products and services.

But sifting through tons of information to achieve what we want is a bit like weeding the garden. We have to look at almost all the leaves of grass to get all the weeds out before we see the result correct. And usually we lose a few patches.

What if there was someone to help us weed? Like a tennis umpire in order to landscape and turn our attention to important areas within our focal length. Moving from the Information Age to the age of Recommendation from the collective wisdom is the knowledgeable crowd again. More and more people spend time writing reviews and recommendations, especially blogging, posting comments, writing topics in the forum and the answers and so on and they serve as beacons for us engines, highlighting areas of interest through a process called filtering.

Today's filters are king! They help us find what we are looking into the overwhelming abundance of choice. Sites like Google Pages filter for bring the most relevant for our search term. Amazon offers recommendations and comments, together with all books on the planet. Netflicks tracks our patterns Search also filter and movies that resemble our needs for titles that have not even heard of. Ten years ago my local music store I offered 4,000 titles. Today I ITunes offers more than 4 million. I could have spent an hour browsing my local music store. How many to be in Online?

Filtering search and navigation behavior beyond. That is amplified through word of mouth. Sites like MySpace are huge filtering engines to put new music while sharing informed collective democratic choice. "Bound" to build bookmarks online and number of clicks to sites page is as endorsements, showing us where you click Next.

With data crunching monster tech sites are more and more able to measure patterns consumption in real time and make changes as quickly. This is a major change coming in the age recommendation.

Google Adsense Filter immense volumes keyword to the ad content quality to any website. Amazon Associates are easily able to place the recommendations and comments on their own websites. These ads targeted recommendations and act as beacons or shortcuts to what you're looking at a landscape full of abundance. With good filters diamonds can be found anywhere.

Sites like Rhapsody, MySpace, Netflicks, and Commission Junction are the factories of today. The workforce has become democratized so that anyone anywhere can produce hard or soft products and services for anyone to consume. All these sites offer sophisticated filtering through suggestions, comments and statistics. But other sites like Digg, Reddit, Folkd, Shoutwire and Care2 are aggregators of opinion on any subject and according to filter information based on consensus democratic and democratic publishing.

Filter information niche bloggers providing direct access to relevant data. Blog Comments are as fine tuners and direction finders to help us at home without reviewing all options for ourselves.

The information age is over. We have entered the age of the recommendations. Successful entrepreneurs would be wise to consider the new way to automate Wow the crowd is filtering through engine sophisticated and user participation with interactive features like comments, recommendations, reviews, blogs and articles.
