New Approaches to Local Decision Making

 
  The growth of local online reviews and deals help two key factors for local decision making: consumer sentiment and pricing. But consumers have a tough time sorting through it all and make good decisions. Former Yahoo Marketplaces leader Jennifer Dulski explains how “sentiment analysis” and deal aggregation and filtering are helping.

  11:15 am - 12:00 pm  Back to Square One: Refocus on Revenues  
  Craigslist has come and destroyed the ability of local media to make money from classifieds. “Free” has spread to coupons and directory listings as well. Or has it? Vertical specialists continue to drive major revenues in each of these areas. And new revenues as well. In this summary panel, we’ll get back to a core subject: revenue.
