Top 20 Trends in 2011 Forecast - The 2011 Trend Report. 10 Event Trends for 2011. Six big trends to watch in 2011. I’ve long been a fan of Geoffrey Moore’s classic business books about the evolutionary path taken by emerging technologies and the companies that champion them. Especially now that several of the key emerging technologies I follow are at such different stages of their evolutions. These contrasting cross-currents are going to make 2011 a fascinating and turbulent year, one in which SaaS enters the tornado and mobile enters the bowling alley at the very same time as cloud trips over the chasm. I’ve decided to highlight six trends in enterprise computing for the coming year, but here’s a seventh prediction: middle-of-the-road analysts and pundits will find it even harder than ever to make any sense of everything that’s going on right now. 1.

Mainstream means mobile For many years, mobile has been a peripheral afterthought when developing enterprise applications. 2. It should be no surprise to find me predicting that so-called ‘private cloud’ will disappoint. 3. 4. 5. 6. Top Ten Predictions for 2011. This post is built from our annual IDC group effort to lay out ten predictions. The actual document should be up on IDC.com in a couple of weeks, for those of you who have a subscription anyway, so if you want to learn more about any of the predictions I’d point you there, it has a lot more detail than this post.

The team this year (besides me) includes: Erin Traudt,Mary Wardley, Scott Guinn, Robert Mahowald, Amy Konary, Melissa Webster, Sanjeev Pal, Darren Bibby, Christine Dover, and Steve White. So on to the predictions; 2010 was the year of moderate business recovery as the world moved slowly out of economic recession. The software trends we identified last year have matured, thus creating a far reaching wave of change throughout the enterprise.

It also laid the foundation for a redefined software industry. In 2011 several core trends will continue to drive change for businesses and for the software industry in general. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. What are the jobs of the future? I just did an interview on the industries that will grow and shrink this decade – I’ll provide a link to the story when it comes out if the magazine puts it online, or if not write it up as a blog post later. It made me remember an interview I did a couple of years for an article on the jobs of the future. They just took a brief quote from my interview: Futurist Ross Dawson of the Future Exploration Network says that when social networks burst onto the scene, roles as community managers or social network managers became a necessity.Such roles are still new, he says, but companies and celebrities alike are advertising for professionals to help them manage their consumer and fan online chat.

“You can have thousands of friends on Facebook and MySpace,” Dawson says. “A celebrity will have people that help them manage their MySpace site as they have a lot of people to interact with and not enough time.” Virtual assistant Personal database manager Reputation manager Carbon emission consultant.

In the eighth version of my annual predictions, I'll try to stay focused and clear, the better to score myself a year from now. And while I used the past two weeks of relatively fallow holiday time as a sort of marination period, the truth is I pretty much just sat down and banged these predictions out in one go, just as I have the past seven years. It works for me, and I hope you agree, or at least find them worth your time.

So here we go: 1. We'll see the rise of a meme which I'll call "The Web Reborn" - a response to the idea that mobile and apps have killed the web as we know it. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. I'd love to keep going, but I think those are the major ones, at least from my vantage point. This post originally appeared at Searchblog. Seven Technologies That Will Rock 2011. So here we are in a new decade, and the technologies that are now available to us continue to engage (and enthrall) in fascinating ways. The rise and collision of several trends—social, mobile, touch computing, geo, cloud—keep spitting out new products and technologies which keep propelling us forward.

Below I highlight seven technologies that are ready to tip into the mainstream 2011. Before I get into my predictions, let’s see how I did last year, when I wrote “Ten Technologies That Will Rock 2010.” Some of my picks were spot on: the Tablet (hello, iPad), Geo (Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook Places, mobile location-aware search, etc.), Realtime Search (it became an option on Google) and Android (now even bigger than the iPhone). What’s in store for 2011? Web Video On Your TV: We’ve already seen many attempts to turn the Internet into a video-delivery pipe to rival cable TV: Google TV, Apple TV, the Boxee Box, Roku, and a slew of “Internet-enabled” TVs.

With 2011 still bright and full of hope for most of us, what are the key trends that customer service professionals need to pay attention to as you plan for success this year? Here are the top trends that I am tracking.

My full report will be published in January. Trend 1: Organizations Standardize Customer Service Across Communication Channels In 2011 and beyond, customer service management professionals will continue to work on standardizing the resolution process and customer service experience across communication channels (e.g., web self-service, chat, email, Twitter, phone). Trend 2: The Universal Customer History Record Becomes A Reality Management of the universal customer history record will evolve to include customer communications done over traditional and social channels such as Facebook and Twitter. Trend 3: Knowledge Management Becomes The Linchpin For Outstanding Service Trend 4: Business Process Management Extends Its Reach To The Front Office.

Mes 11 prédictions pour 2011. Comme à chaque fin d’année, je me lance dans le très périlleux exercice des prédictions pour l’année à venir. 2010 a été une année particulièrement riche, 2011 le sera encore plus. Non en fait le plus simple est de dire que les années 2010-2011 représentent un véritable tournant dans l’histoire du web, car beaucoup de choses ont et vont changer (touchbooks, ebooks, cloud computing, médias sociaux…). Trêve de bla-bla, voici donc mes 11 prédictions pour 2011. 1/ Éclatement de la bulle des médias sociaux Au cas où vous ne l’auriez pas remarqué, il y a tout de même un phénomène spéculatif assez marqué autour des médias sociaux.

Tout ceci participe à relever le niveau d’attente des annonceurs bien au-delà de ce que les médias sociaux et les pratiques de social marketing peuvent délivrer. Votre priorité pour 2011 va donc être de définir des objectifs réalistes pour la présence de votre marque et d’intégrer les médias sociaux dans le fonctionnement quotidien de l’entreprise (processus, CRM…). A few predictions for 2111 ... Welcome to 2011 and I hope you all had a lovely, jubbly holiday. I did ... sitting around eating lots, drinking lots, getting nice presents lots, being with family lots, watching TV lots, not being on twitter or blogging lots ... oh, what fun. And so back to work ... and being first day back, I guess it’s worthwhile doing a little predictive analysis, as in forecasting. I’ll spend most of this week forecasting the next year, but have a job to do first ... which is to look forward 100 years to 2111, as I promised to do that recently. Why bother? Well obviously it’s useful if you could see a century ahead, for investments and such like, but equally it’s quite fun when thinking about it.

More importantly, it’s critical to the dialogue about the Long Now and Long Finance, a subject close to my heart that may feature even more this year as we seek ways to create long-term markets that are sustainable and as social business features more and more in our conversations. First, space. It was fiction. Predictions and Prognostications.

I've read a lot of predictions and prognostications for 2011 in the tech blogs this weekend. My favorite is this presentation that Paul Kedrosky sent me from the big marketing agency JWT. Too many of the predictions I read in the tech blogs are focused on the narrow tech world, some are focused largely on Apple, Google, and Facebook. There's a lot more out there than tech, and it is the intersection of tech, internet, society, culture, money, politics, and other important aspects of life that is always the most interesting (and profitable). That's why I like this deck from JWT. I also like that prediction number one, that 3D printing goes mainstream this year, is a bet we made with our investment in Shapeways.

It always feels good to see that others agree with you. I'm not going to do my own list of predictions so this is the best I can do for you. 5 Predictions for APIs in 2011 : Cloud Computing News « Digital Trends 2011 | Click Here: A Digital Advertising Agency. 5 Social Marketing Predictions For 2011. Another year is almost over. The Christmas Number 1 song has been decided (in the UK at least ); the web has proved that even after a brutal recession, people still need to shop ; and, after a year in which Facebook & Twitter became (if they weren’t already) true phenomenons, we had the interesting experience of watching political leaks going social . Watergate 2.0 if you like. So what did we learn from the spread of social in 2010? What does any of this mean for the wider web, and world, and what does it herald for 2011? Well, my predictions have often been proved wrong, but where’s the fun in not even trying? I’ve explained the thinking behind this projection before (basically I’ve mapped the numbers in Excel, and we know Excel never lies), and as time goes on, I think it’s only getting more likely.

Foursquare has been the buzzword to drop in meetings this year, in a way reminiscent of Twitter or Facebook in years past. Search & Social. My top 5 predictions for CIOs in 2011. We are living in amazing times. Technology is changing the way we work and play at a considerable pace and there is no letup in sight. Rather, the change we anticipate ahead will be greater and more profound than anything that has come before. If you, like me, are lucky enough to be part of implementing that change then you’ll likely agree that we are extra fortunate.

To me, being a CIO in the early part of the 21st century couldn’t be further from being in “just a job.” As we look to 2011, the to-do list and choices for CIOs are getting longer and more complex. It’s in this context that I present my top 5 predictions for CIOs in 2011. 1. Okay, so one doesn’t need to be a soothsayer to know that cloud computing is at a point of inflection. Worthy of particular note, with mobile increasingly at the center of our computing future, a strategy for the mobile cloud will be an essential subset of this space. The risk is no longer the cloud. 2. 3. 4. 5. Related: 10 Wireless Predictions for 2011. According to Juniper Research, here are 10 top wireless predictions for 2011, followed by my comments. 1. Surging mobile data traffic will continue to test 3G network capacity - As they predicted at the end of last year, 2010 was the year in which the surge in mobile data traffic, driven by the consumer smartphone boom, began to place the 3G networks under severe strain.

A number of network operators have responded by introducing tiered data pricing - a trend which will undoubtedly increase - but as smartphone adoption continues apace, network capacity will be sorely tested in 2011. Tiered pricing (and the use of WiFi as capacity relief) may serve to alleviate the problem to a certain extent. Fixed data plans, mainly in the U.S., have seen the exponential growth of mobile data usage. 2.

Josh Jones-Dilworth is the founder and CEO of Jones-Dilworth, Inc. a PR consultancy focused on bringing early stage technologies to market. He blogs at joshdilworth.com. A lot has changed since this post’s forbearer last December, so much so that I think it’s safe to say that data, particularly as it relates to marketing and social media, is no longer an annual topic, but rather a daily one. Below, I outline five data-driven trends that will shape our coming year. 1.

In 2011, data science job openings will see a rise in numbers similar to the gaggle of community management and social media marketing gigs that materialized out of the ether nearly three years ago. Now, community managers will not become data scientists per se — true data science involves a heavy dose of machine learning, code skills, math chops and deep domain expertise. For all of us marketers, the newfound fame of data science should, regardless, be considered an opportunity, not a threat. 2. 3. 4. 5. Data is cool, people. The State of the Blogosphere 2010. InShare410 The question we ask ourselves when examining the state of the blogosphere is whether or not the cup is half full or half empty?

Personally, I believe the answer lies in the nature of circumstances. If drinking from the glass, it is then half empty. If pouring, it is half full. With the rise of Twitter, Posterous, Tumblr and other forms of micromedia, many believed that the glass was half empty. Today, 100 million Tweets flew across Twitter. On Facebook this month, the average user created 90 pieces of content and contributed to the more than 30 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) collectively shared each month. But blogging perseveres – as it should. The State of the Blogosphere 2010 Since 2004, Technorati has published its annual State of the Blogosphere report. To begin, let’s take a look at the residence of bloggers worldwide. Almost one-half of all bloggers reside in the United States with 29% blogging in Europe.
