		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I blogged about research on the “Millennials”—the so-called DotCom generation. I didn’t talk about one really fascinating finding: the tendency of DotCom’s to “vote” with their purchasing power, to boycott products when they disapprove of the company that makes them. As the authors noted, this behavior has not been studied—and it deserves attention. This [...]]]></description>
