It’s that time where many predictions are being made for 2010 as well as the next decade, especially when it comes to predictions surrounding the internet and social media. We follow online analysts as they analyze the past and then provide logical predictions for the future of the online world. One source of ours is The Social Analyst which is a weekly column by Mashable which reviews social media trends and how they are affecting companies in the online world. Ben Parr, a Co-Editor of this column, put together his predictions in ‘What the Web of Tomorrow Will Look Like: 4 Big Trends to Watch’. In this post, Ben discusses the 4 big predictions to watch as the online future quickly evolves:
