Social Media Trends 2009, TrendsSpotting
One our favorite blogs about consumer Internet trends, TrendsSpotting, has just published a presentation about social media trends. The predictions were gathered from social media influencers, including ReadWriteWeb. Check out the slides below, and also our post from yesterday 2009: Predictions Across the Web. And stay tuned for ReadWriteWeb's own annual predictions post, it's coming very soon!
Note: the page which struck a chord for me was pg 18, which included this quote: "Google will 'pagerank' and 'map' peoples influence." Measuring social media is definitely an area which needs more attention in 2009, so it will be interesting to see if Google is at the forefront of that.

Great stuff, really enjoyed this one.... embedding it to my blog now
do make a slideshow out of your predictions as well.. I will carry it to my blog
I found the first slide (slide #2) to be the most interesting of all - quality over quantity. I couldn't agree more.
If 2008 signified the year people and corporations easily launched blogs and twitters, then 2009 (and onward) will be the year we separate the wheat from the chaff.

I like the presentation of TrendsSpotting! The presentation of the social medias are very well done.
Can't wait to see the readwriteweb 2009 predictions :)
I found the predictions from last year the most interesting because they inform this reader that these 'predictions' are a joke and an exercise in futility. Ah, the navel gazing is great this time of year.

I predict social media sites will continue to conveniently ignore intellectual property of videos. They will selectively apply the rules to remove members they find ideologically irksome (conservatives)
Myspace has been doing this for years
The trend towards a "User Driven World" accelarates the speed of consumerization of emerging technologies. People embrace social networking, social communities, social media as a way to fulfill basic human needs to communicate with personal relavance.
