5 for Friday | The Week's Best Blogs (2/27/09 Edition)

Logic+Emotion probed an interesting corporate trend this week: Businesses (large and small) seem to be warming up to the idea that sometimes they're wrong. Logic+Emotion's article relates the story of Tropicana's recent back-peddling from their new juice carton design after customers complained. We saw a similar situation with the Facebook user agreement. And, hey, my local Albertson's grocery store removed its self-checkout system after receiving complaints from its patrons. Is this genuine humility? With an increasingly marketing savvy population the old modernist techniques of treating the consumer like an evolutionary byproduct may be going by the wayside. Let's just hope this new humility is sincere and not an indication of the dawning of the age of postmodern power plays. Enough of that, here's this week's 5 for Friday:
