I think 10 years down the line social networks will BE the internet, however sites like Facebook, Twitter etc will be a distant memory. The future ( as I see it anyway) lies in the smaller niche social networking websites which are showing up on the internet at an astounding rate. Hopefully this blog gets archived and we can check back in 10 years to see how right (or wrong) we are. Great article.

Here we go again. Trying to predict the future -- as though nearly every single past prognostication has proven to be far off the mark. To me it seems far too early to predict the shape and direction that social networks will take in the years ahead. The only thing we can comfortably foresee is that what we see five, much less ten, years down the line will be radically different from today's reality. Will social networks as we now know them even be part of the picture? Who knows?! Well, well. Here we go again.

In-house networks will be tied to a Blackbaud/Convio/CRM database of some type to enable more efficient marketing. The massive data from social networks will be they key to identifying people most valuable to your organization. I’m betting on the intelligent social community.

I agree social networks will be powerful in the coming years. How do you think the business world will leap into this new space? Should a business have a presence within every social network or should a business maintain one presence on a social business network with a portal into every social network? Great post.
