six fundamental shifts define a landscape of change

Looking ahead at the next decade, we find ourselves confronting this larger kind of two-curve problem as these six fundamental shifts define a landscape of change:

  • Hyper-urbanization: From strategies of enclosure to open strategies for the shareable city
  • Deindustrialization: From pipeline infrastructures to agile energy ecosystems
  • Dematerialization: From large-scale manufacturing to just-in-time manifestation
  • Social Production: From institutional wage labor to networked micro-contributions Information
  • Intensification: From information overload to cognitive prosthesis
  • Biomolecularization: From individually responsible intelligent organisms to complex ecosystems of biologically distributed intelligence

the potential acquisitions of these social suite players by the major CRM companies represent the final nail in the coffin of social media. No more is it something separate, disconnected, cute and experimental. It has just moved to the heart of all marketing efforts and the stock price movements of Facebook will not change that. Social Media Marketing is on scale and needs to be at the heart of your marketing efforts right now.

Social Suites Grow Up: What does it mean? - Going Social Now

Interessante gedachte bij de overnames van Vitrue (voor $300mln) door Oracle en Buddy media (voor $800mln) door Salesforce. Social CRM in the making met de combinatie van Salesforce, Radian6 en BuddyMedia.

Hoe HFT (high frequency trading) profiteerden van de Facebook IPO, deze wisten zeker dat de 38 dollar koers het zou houden door steun van de begeleidende banken.

Smart!  …. en bizar!
