If you're like me, you pay attention to what's coming around the bend just so you can keep on your feet when the next big thing hits ground. Even though a recent survey by Pew shows that many consumers still don't know what a blog or podcasting means, here's a look at what's next.
This comes from Steve Rubel of Micropersuasion:
1. The Long Tail - small players can collectively make up a market that rivals the giants. As Seth says, small is the new big. This applies equally for journalism as well as for marketers.
2. The Read Write Web/Web 2.0 – technologies like Ajax will make the web more dynamic, turning it into a full-fledged platform. Wither the desktop.
3. Timeshifting – consumers will increasingly want to devour media on their own time, on the mobile device of their choice and without commercials
Please read the full post to get an idea of what's developing. Even Steve's post was written using a relatively new source of information tagging: Wikipedia offers free content anyone can edit, making new ideas still in development available to a large audience long before they become mainstream.
What ideas do you see coming around the corner that will impact the way we live our lives and do business?
