Brett Hurt, founder of Bazaarvoice, said, "Shoppers trust and use the opinions of others in making choices about products and brands...As consumers head to the Web to research online and offline purchases, companies have a tremendous opportunity to provide them with the authentic user-generated content that is proven to build confidence, increase satisfaction and drive sales."
