I also believe that 2010 is going to bring about the biggest transformation in decades in how users decide and how companies market. I also think that powerful search tools like TipTop <a href="http://FeelTipTop.com" target="_blank">http://FeelTipTop.com</a> are going to be at the forefront in this coming revolution.

Even though we are starting to see the potential of it with greater user adoption there and acquisitions like GeoAPI by twitter, I think we'll see that ecosystem maturing and growing but not yet monetized in 2010. However, what I think we'll see is the evolution of new ecommerce models that feed off of the explosive growth we saw in 2009 of social media tools like twitter and facebook. These models will include things like group buying as we can see from groupon's success and others that leverage the viral word of mouth online. I would think that someone like groupon with a smart acquisition could place itself in the race for local location based advertising. They do have the local sales channels and clear value proposition to businesses that others like twitter don't have. Thats my dark horse in the geolocation game in 2010. What do you think?

What will happen when people will understand that their "virtual" life gets its sense from the real life activities? if the users will adopt this kind of understanding, i think we'll see faster growth and usage for mobile social networks (anyway mobile has its own rules for each environment). If the users will continue to invest much of their time publishing and nurturing their personal pages, then the desktop based social networks could grow faster).

Some real eye-opening insights here. I guess Thought #9: More people will use the Internet to communicate and share information was too obvious. Maybe you should have stuck with Thought #10: Social media consultants will continue to rehash pablum and package it as value-added insight. Wow. Some real eye-opening insights here.
