Construction companies worldwide are shifting their business toward green building, with 51 percent of respondents to a survey by research firm McGraw-Hill Construction saying they expect more than 60 percent of their work to be green by 2015. This is a significant increase from the 28 percent that said the same for their work in 2013 and the 13 percent in 2008, according to the company’s latest SmartMarket Report, World Green Building Trends. This trend is not localized to one country or region; fom 2012 to 2015, the number of firms anticipating that more than 60 percent of their work will be green more than triples in South Africa; more than doubles in Germany, Norway and Brazil; and grows between 33 and 68 percent in the United States, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and Australia, the report says...

I think this will be the true global tipping point once big business sees there is so much money to be made in the green movement. It remains to be seen if that ends up being a good thing but the momentum is shifting and that is certainly good.

![Why Sales on Social Media Will Be Huge By 2015 [INFOGRAPHIC] | Social Mercor | Scoop.it](http://img.scoop.it/VZRe5VeADnEl79FvHAbyGDl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVaiQDB_Rd1H6kmuBWtceBJ)
Shopping on social media may not be big right now, but by 2015, it's expected to explode... A new infographic by has found that “social commerce sales are expected to bring in $30 billion each year by 2015, with half of web sales to occur through social media,” writes Samantha Murphy of Mashable. Currently, one in three small businesses use Facebook, while there are over 42 million fan pages on Facebook. Seventeen percent of those sell products on the pages. Facebook fans are 79 percent more likely than a non-fan to purchase a product, and 74 percent of fans are more likely to recommend a company or product. The social media site also drives 26 percent of referral traffic to company websites. Right now ”20 percent of shoppers prefer to purchase products via Facebook than the brand’s website”— and that number is expected to climb. Via Lauren Moss, Alex Janus, Jimun Gimm Delete the scoop?

Good article by Hamish McKenzie on PandoDaily, where he identifies seven key trends that may shake and change the way we consume, buy, produce and organize information online.
Among them I see trends n.5, 6 and 7 to be particularly strong. These are:
- Longform
- Curation
- Micropayments
All three are rapidly growing after several years of silent "incubation", and they all look ripe for becoming prime-time shows.
Interesting. Resourceful. 7/10
