A glance back at the future of social media
This has been a transitional year, partly spent recovering from the trauma of the Great Recession and partly spent adjusting to shifts in power in the marketing industry. Everyone from brands and advertising agencies to their employees have been reeling from one change after another.
One of the many unsettling aspects was the rise of social media. I consistently heard the same questions. Is it a fad? Is there any money in it? Will it change everything? What is social media again? (My favorite.)
So I thought I’d look back at a few thoughts from this year about the industry and its future. No one has a crystal ball. All we can do is take leaps of faith, build case studies, lean on each other’s expertise and cobble together our best guess of what our daily lives will look like in a few months or a few year’s time.
In the spirit of Dave Letterman, here’s a reverse order look at ten posts that touched on the future and proved popular this year.
