This is the second Social Intelligence report in a monthly series by SAP and NetBase analyzing the latest enterprise technology trends.

There’ll certainly be more of the same, evermore sophisticated – whether it’s fan-stores on social networks, the portable social graph in retail environments, or the evolution of group-buy beyond daily-deal brokers.
