13. The Future of Social Media

What's good y'all? I had a very fun and exciting weekend and I hope you did also. For this week's post I decided to Google: "future social media trends". I quickly found two articles which made predictions about future trends.

The first article I read is by Jim Tobin and he believes that social media is in its infancy period right now, which I agree with. He made one very interesting prediction that caught my eye, he believes that social networks will become open. What he means by that is that there will be a utility tool which will connect all social media sites together and allow you to travel easily among them. This would be a very cool feature but I am not sure how close we are to something like that.

The second article is by David Armano about trends for 2010. He predicts that social media will become more popular and more mobile but less social as well with niche social networking sites gaining popularity and more exclusivity. Another prediction he brought up is something that will effect most of us: the company you work for will soon have a social media policy regarding things you post and what is allowed.

Both articles I would recommend checking out. Also check out this great marketing tool: http://snipr.com/v6ecv. Anyways, the Bosssss is done for this week...time for bed. 1 HUNDO.
