Social Media prediction 2009....

A comment I made on Greg Verdino’s blog.

I Twitter’d the following earlier this week…

“As we evolve w SM the need for mass popularity diminishes& quality/quantity & connexions for purpose become need of user”

And so, I completely agree with your vision for 2009. Not only that, but I agree that professionals using SM as a tool to market and brand will find true value in tight knit community influencers rather than these ‘geography-less super followed’ that we all strive to be today.

If I can be selfish enough to predict the future of SM in 2009 I would say…

Physical communities will become a growing factor in how we effectively use social media. The global community will continue to inspire and participate but how we use technology to enhance the neighbourhoods we shake hands with and directly involve ourselves within will be the next evolution of the medium.
