Future Trends in Social Media
There will be increased social interaction and value placed on relationships over transactions. Business models will become more flexible with more niche "long tail" opportunities and peer-to-peer markets. Abundant information and constrained resources will lead to needs for network literacy, digital curation, and community management to make sense of content and enable collaboration. Emerging skills like content curation, gamification, and app development will be important for engaging users and organizing information across various platforms.
