Twenty-ten was huge for Social. We saw baby companies grow to giants, old giants fall and innovation beyond our wildest dreams, but what does that mean for 2011?
Facebook and Twitter and YouTube are all dominant, but that doesn't mean permanently dominant. 2011 will bring more innovation from them and others to further strike footholds into the digital market.
We should see some incredibly huge buy-outs, and some extraordinarily large sums of money changing hands. The usual Google/Yahoo/Microsoft/AOL suspects will be spending large of course.
We will see a larger commercial explosion utilising much of the geolocation/crowdsourcing technologies we have so far only used for fun, and 'Social' experiences becoming more serious, more integrated with everyday life.
On the handheld device front, expect more power at your fingertips, a larger competition-level on the mobile and tablet market, and further, deeper integration into our home life.
Where do you think it's all going?
