2. People are connecting through social networks in more meaningful ways, by grouping contacts into categories like close friends and acquaintances.

DTT TMT predicts that in 2010 online advertising spending will continue to grow faster than total advertising spending and increase its share of the overall advertising market from around 10% to 15%. While not all online ad categories will see equal growth, search, display, video, social network, and cost-per-action ads are expected to experience the greatest increases. The recession may have accelerated rather than slowed the shift to online as advertisers seek formats where they can better measure effectiveness. Traditional media most at risk of losing share include magazines, newspapers, radio and outdoor advertising, while broadcast and cable TV are expected to be more resilient.
