Cars and motorcycles are two different buyer groups with a significant degree of variation possible between and amongst individuals and groups.


Likewise the influences that act in a complex dance, hypnotizing consumers and sobering them up could be listed

(TWO VENN DIAGRAMS TO BE ADDED FROM MY NOTES: unicycle, jet pack, car, motorcycle, bicycle, lear jet, piper cub, commercial airliner... MPG, MPGe, price, PM emissions...)

What about brand loyalty? Perhaps there are better foreign options, but there may be a 'soul subsidy' involved, a Spirit-of-America dedication, leftover from generations of strong advertising, impressive service and/or quality product.


It is certain that consumers are optomizing. This means something different for everyone and even something different for the same person at different times in their life. I was a vegetarian for about a year. Part of my decisions were sustainability-centric. Though these considerations still influence my food consumption, I have decided to eat meat again. Consequently, decisions I would have made during my vegetarian period are different from the same decisions I make today.

Ever want to find a song title by a lyric? How about a movie title by the fragment you can remember? We do. All the time, so we decided to build a tool. This is a behavior that distinguishes humans from other primates; we make tools to solve hard work. It's called working smarter, not harder. It's called [[Hooze]

I'd like to see companies' mission statements attached to their cards. This could also have potentially useful fundraising implications, matching keywords like "technology", "information" or "open source" to appropriate nonprofit goals. The same could be said/done for foundations, which are sometimes affiliated with companies, but separate organizations, as in the case with Motorola.
