TrendsSpotting 4th annual digital prediction series is featuring the predictions of digital and marketing experts on the big changes awaiting us in the coming year.
Looking at 2010 and observing the trends we’ve seen that year – we aim at figuring out what will be new in 2011.
THE NEW NEXT initiative is focused not in what will happen in 2011 (as most predictions you find) but rather on the new trends emerging out of what we have seen earlier.
The Tech 2011 Report is following the predictions of ReadWriteWeb, GigaOm, IBM, Forrester and other leading experts.
Watch for TrendsSpoting's 2011 Social Media and Mobile Predictions.
