I use here 10 trends read on Social Media blog,
I add personal comments :
- The influence of social media will grow with the practice;
obvious, 2009 will be social. finished the technological era, ended the era of blogs, social networks explode.
Influencers will gain visibility and influence;
no so sure. long tail will increase. hypersocial and hypertargetting are the trend.
- The brands that not on SM will lose control of their message;
of course, to manage your brand reputation and your communities, you have to be where your users are.
- Campaigns integrated with social media will become more important;
bannering, c ontextual, all old ads formats will decrease, the new trend is social.
- Portability of social graphs will spark many opportunities;
even if you are not social networks, inevitably, if everyone is, you will. For example, I have contacts without GSM, but as a society we used to be available everywhere, they have to adapt and also reached otherwise.
- The concept of friendship in social networks will mature
(small nodes will deliver their potential);
Today the concept of virtual friendship is not fixed, each network is in its choice in the definition. tomorrow there will be a logic that goes with a new terminology.
The lessons associated with a presence in social media will be more important than the ROI;
In the business, there will never be more important than the ROI.
- The digital marketing business will re-organize around the SIM;
Each change was a new marketing, new customs and new rules, these changes will not make exceptions.
- Employees will be increasingly involved in campaigns;
It is certainly the first step of the era of digital identity.
Your boss is on Facebook.
on facebook not sure, on linkedin sure !
Of course, the comments are my opinion, you can read interesting report here or here :-)
