Predictions for FY11
1. Search is getting local – Yelp, Foursquare
2. The convergence of data will create the “new monetized innovation economy” defined by the way people interact with data. Highly localized data that will reflect the knowledge inventory of a community and will be represented by a virtual currency.
3. Group Buying – Groupon and Microsoft even getting in game with Cudo
4. Search to continue to get more social
5. people are going to be much more diligent about curating their own content into a more managable form e.g. Cadmus, Paper.li
6. Location based technologies will go niche
7. Ads will become more interactive with videos especially coming to the fore and sensor technology interacting with Augmented Reality
8. Like niche job boards we will see niche social networks forming
9. Near Field Communication
Near field communication technology works by creating a connection between two chips using high-frequency transmission through the air. As long as the chips are within four inches of each other, a connection can be made and data can be transferred. With NFC chips built into smartphones, consumers can wave their phone at an NFC tag and obtain context-sensitive information. With the impending launch of the NFC-equipped Google Nexus S phone on December 16, expect NFC to take a substantial step into the mainstream.
10. Recognition technologies like Google Googles will become more main stream
11. The first Irish Recruiters human brain will explode because of social media!
