2010 Trend Predictions for Social Media

Here’s a slide deck with a number of predictions for 2010. I am honored to be included in such a distinguished group!

Dr. Taly Weiss presents the predictions in Twitter format so it’s a quick read.

ReadWriteWeb did a nice job of expanding on my first prediction.

PROSPECTING: Connie Benson, Director of Social Media and Community Strategy for Alterian says, "Social media monitoring will provide insight across all channels, as well as making social media an active outbound marketing channel."

In other words, here social media ROI might be measured in the number of social media-based pitches against the number of deals closed.

My second is:

SM will shift from being experimental to having metrics and the loop will be closed so that SM Monitoring is necessary & actionable

Mashable also provided their perspective.

What do you think? What direction are we headed?

Thanks for posting some great postings and I’ll try to return back with a completely different browser to check things out!
