By Doc Searls on ParisTech Review

Au cours des dix dernières années la tendance du côté des commerçants a été de pister toujours plus les consommateurs et de recueillir leurs données personnelles afin d'anticiper leurs souhaits, au point qu'on finit par se demander quel choix est encore laissé aux clients. Mais de nouveaux outils de gestion de cette relation se dessinent, en rupture avec les pratiques en vogue. Les consommateurs vont-ils récupérer leur liberté? C'est le pari du d'un nouveau modèle: l'économie de l'intention.
Vendor relationship management is on the rise. Though for the last ten years a powerful trend has driven marketers to trap consumers and collect their personal data in order to anticipate their wishes to the point the very idea of choice was questioned, disruptive ways of managing this relationship are emerging. Will consumers recover their freedom?
