Almost anyone you meet in marketing will usually be a fan of getting their data and insights about major trends in consumer behaviour from research reports. After all, we generally pay a lot of money for them, and (ironically) many of the most authoritative are BRANDED either by a research organization, or by an authoritative institution such as a renowned business school. To some degree, this is valuable and much needed … since anyone can publish the results of any unscientific poll or survey done hastily on Twitter and more weight to the “data” produced than they should. Yet you don’t need an MBA in analytics to have a voice in spotting hot trends.

Whether you happen to write your own blog or prefer to remain a participant instead of a creator, the site has built a platform for what they call “Crowdsourced Consumer Insight.” Last week they released a sneak peek at their 2011 Trend Report which takes individual examples of interesting trends and applies a filter to identify some top level trends that they may point towards.
