Greetings!

We've Re-Launched TrendReports.com! - We've re-launched TrendReports.com with a clever new 'responsive design', which is a new type of design that changes the layout automatically as you resize your browser. Responsive Design is an interesting trend in the web. Instead of designing a completely separate app for tablets and mobile, publishers on the cutting edge are moving to responsive design because you can use just one consistent design template and end up with a much cleaner user experience... Even Google is endorsing it. SO check it out: TrendReports.com.

We are also launching a new series of more-academic articles and interviews which will be hosted on TrendReports.com. In short, we'll use the site to talk about the larger patterns of opportunity we are seeing in marketing, research, and innovation. The top articles will make it into this weekly newsletter. Stay tuned!
