– The Information Age is over; welcome to the Experience Age
An interesting read that leads you to thinking about the changes coming relative to social media.

– Mobile has changed how we view digital identity. With a connected camera televising our life in-the-moment, accumulated information takes a back seat to continual self-expression.

Snapchat exemplifies the above mindset, which leads me to a thought – aside from Snapchat, what young and/or old companies are taking advantage of this cultural-technological shift?
– Department store giants Macy’s and Kohl’s missed earnings this week, and other retailers are unlikely to fare much better.
