Still can't believe that the current Internet business (marketing) has shifted so much from 10 years ago. In the past it was producer/publisher centered who pushed it to the consumer (visitors) whether by email marketing (mailing list) or newsgroups, now it looks like supermarket style (passive/indirect marketing) with its social networking (visitors pick what they likes). And currently there are so many new jargons that are not in the past like digg it , reddit etc2. In the past banner advertisings were the kings now text is. In the past people socialize on newsgroups, mirc (chat room), icq, now on forums, messenger. What will be the next 10 year Internet Business (marketing) ? I am still looking in my crystall ball .
Yes,indeed its very true.And must accept it. IMO,the future of the marketing will lies on the podcasting which mean that more and more people will switch from listening to main news that controlled by government to news that publish by peer to peer.And it will be wise to marketing one product at specific niche podcast broadcaster
i agree with mentos, i think we will see a lot more peer to peer applications. We will see local search become bigger. everybody goes on line now to look for ordering take out etc. even in the small town I live in
If you have 20 mins of your time you should watch this video: "Kevin Kelly: Predicting the next 5,000 days of the web". It's presented the fun way so I'm sure it will be interesting for you. Here is info from YouTube: "At the 2007 EG conference, Kevin Kelly shares a fun stat: The World Wide Web, as we know it, is only 5,000 days old. Now, Kelly asks, how can we predict what's coming in the next 5,000 days?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDYCf4ONh5M
