Various efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19 have been carried out, which resulted in the formation of a new normal life order for the community. Some of the adjustments include doing all activities from home, always washing hands, wearing a mask, and keeping a distance. New normal is also closely related to Information Technology (IT), where some activities are carried out through information technology assistance.

Chapter 2 discusses the role of information intermediaries (information matchmakers) in helping consumers to improve their infocap. You as a consumer probably have never hired a purchase agent for help, so what intermediaries do we speak of? We show that most of your purchases are mediated by information matchmakers, which are everywhere yet are hardly noticed. For example, we do not consider Facebook as a matchmaker, yet its relatively tiny marketing role is vital to its existence. Collectively, these invisible/ubiquitous matchmakers play the largest role in consumer markets. We also show that the most effective information matchmakers are those that curate users’ own contribution to evaluate products and beyond. We also analyze revenue models and innovative ways to capture consumers’ attention and their data in order to play the matchmaker role.
