When asked what sources “influence your decision to use or not use a particular company, brand or product” 71% claim reviews from family members or friends exert a “great deal” or “fair amount” of influence (Harris Interactive, June 2010).” – Bazaarvoice.com

A friend of mine stopped by last night, whipped out his phone and voice dialed his girlfriend. I found this a bit odd, since I personally never use voice dial and I was surprised he even knew it was a feature of his phone. I soon noticed that the phone was a mere keypad, no screen…

Here We Come!

So here it is, our first blog post. We’ll keep this one short and sweet – just a basic introduction to The Loud Few and what our goals are for this website.
