I had no idea what an "experience economy" was, but here is a good book on the topic:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0875848192/inktomi-bkasin-20/ref%3Dnosim/002-4810690-5556867

taken from review:
The Experience Economy, the authors argue that the service economy is about to be superseded with something that critics will find even more ephemeral (and controversial) than services ever were: experiences. In part because of technology and the increasing expectations of consumers, services today are starting to look like commodities. The authors write that "Those businesses that relegate themselves to the diminishing world of goods and services will be rendered irrelevant. To avoid this fate, you must learn to stage a rich, compelling experience."

I had to turn off my popup block to get it (click on the S40 car on the home page).

I thought the survey on http://spiderresearch.com/index.html was kind of odd from a marketing point of view.

Why include the following questions:
Have you been unfaithful during the past three years?
Do you use the Internet to satisfy sexual needs?
Have you got a television set?
Who has most credibility? George W Bush or Donald Duck

I mean what kind of new information about a customer or a market, that is intresting from a marketing point of view, whould you get from those questions ?

And are they really giving away a brand new Volvo. I don't think so.
The volvo is worth more than 19 000 Euros.
To be giving away such a expensive thing you would expect a lot more from the survey.

Our security personnell have discovered traces of an unauthorised intrusion in our public servers. No sensitive data is stored in these machines. An investigation of the event has been initiated.

Could be the same type of hint from Metacortex saying don't hack, we'll get around to the game soon. Or is it part of the game?
