What I Hope To See In 2009?

The predictions for 2009 is already a piece of hot cake floating around the blogosphere, as much as I hate predictions. More often, these predictions become marketing objectives in the following year. I think it is more appropriate to label these as …

It’s interesting to note how many people have become involved in what may prove to be a passing fad.

Presently, Twitter discourages conversations and too many people are using it for a “look at me.” This may be its undoing.

When we reflect back on the early 2000s, social media Web 2.0 may prove to be as quaint as disco, or how many other trends we have experienced over time that we were convinced would revolutionize our lives.

But we will have to follow it through to know.

Hi Todd,

Good to read your predictions for 2009 that you and others have written.

I too have attempted to foresee what 2009 holds for social media.

Blogging is not dead.

FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) in a down economy will inhibit marketers from launching promising initiatives.

“Thought leaders” will increasingly be seen as, if not naked, wearing very skimpy bathing suits. The thought leader biz will suffer vs. the agency or marketer which executes.

Detroit will continue to use social and traditional media to talk to itself rather than its market.

I love social media networks. I have for a very long time. It seems like connection in a format that was not face to face has been a part of my life for a very long time. I don’t personally believe that social media will suffer some great blow or get cut off at the knees.

I do, however, think that there will be a decline. Eventually, people will want to see each other again. IMs will no longer correctly convey messages and somehow, 140 characters won’t be enough to full express how you feel.

In all, a great compilation of some of the brightest social media minds around. I look forward to seeing what you say this time next year.

I also find it intriguing that the forecasts are so diverse. It’s hard to really know if Social Media is on the upswing. It’s so much information all at once, it would be nice to see more organization of networks, or of the information out there, if that’s even a possibility!
