- Social Media Trends 2009, TrendsSpotting - ReadWriteWebJanuary 7
- 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.
- Seven Predictions for 2009 - eMarketerJanuary 7
- 1. Marketers will be cutting back on advertising spending this year. 2. Among traditional media, newspapers, radio and magazines will see the worst declines. 3. Advertisers’ pull-back in overall marketing spending, coupled with a serious re-examination of traditional media, will affect how media is planned and measured, as well as the media mix itself. 4. Throughout all this economic shrinkage, the Internet will continue to grow, though at a far more constrained pace. Online ad spending will rise 8.9% in 2009, after an already ratcheted-down rate of 11.3% in 2008. 5. Despite the general consensus that online will ride out the storm, expect to see a growing contingent of bearish forecasters disparaging its prospects. 6. Growth in online display advertising will languish—but only in terms of absolute-dollar spending, and the effects will be temporary. 7. E-commerce, already hammered in 2008, will see growth slip even further, from 7.2% in 2008 to a measly 4.1% in 2009.
