Economic Woes Sending Consumers to the Web

According to a new study by Nielsen Online, the economic woes being felt across the U.S. are driving more and more consumers to share frustrations and money-saving tips within social networks.

The study shows that among the online driving conversations, the topic most discussed is the growing need for alternative fuel-which accounts for 20% of the conversations. The same effect is spilling over to grocery buying conversations. Consumers are sharing new promotions and sales, as well as how to stretch your dollars with coupon strategies.
