Unclutterer on Consumerism 2.0
By Marc Perton
I hosted a small conference (more of a conclave, actually, since it was a fairly small, invitation-only group) for bloggers at Consumer Reports HQ a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been too modest to post about it here (message to self: modesty and blogging are not a good combination!). Fortunately, one of the attendees, Erin Doland of Unclutterer, has a very good and flattering write-up out, in which she comments:
Her whole post is worth reading (if I do say so myself) if you want to get a better idea of what we did at the meeting (other attendees included Cap from Stop Buying Crap, Zac from WalletPop, and the inimitable Edward Dworsky, aka Mr. Consumer). We’re hoping to do more of these, so if you’re a consumer affairs blogger and want to be invited, please drop me a line.
I’m a big fan of Consumer Reports and check it and other review sites before making most of my purchases. Being a smart consumer can take effort, but when you own few possessions, it’s important to focus on quality. Overall, I was glad to spend the day learning from others who share a similar philosophy on educated consumerism.
