I was recently quoted in two compilations of social media predictions for 2010, by TrendsSpotting and Junta42, along with social media influencers like Pete Cashmore, David Armano, Chris Brogan, Peter Kim, John Batelle, Drew McLellan, Jason Falls, Charlene Li, Robert Scoble and Paul Gillin.
I think the big social media trend in 2010 will be that online brand communities will come of age.
Brand marketers will create compelling micro-content to seed these communities, then run contests to invite consumers to interpret their brand, create their own content.
I also see brand marketers investing in communities that are built around a bigger social object: a lifestyle, cause or passion.
Here is the TrendsSpotting 2010 Social Media Predictions –
