Fjord Annual Trends Report 2014

Fjord Annual Trends Report 2014 | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Now in its seventh year, the annual Fjord Trends Report 2014 is launched, unveiling what we believe will transform what we do, our clients’ business and ultimately the way we live.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Wow, great psychographic / tectonic plate trends report from Fjord. Here are just a few gems from the report (on SlideShare and included behind this link):

* M2M (machine 2 machine) communications increase, as Internet of Things becomes a reality.

* Internet of Things creates an "API Marketplace" to facilitate cool app development for your fridge et al.

* We will learn to talk and listen to objects in 2014 thanks to the Internet of Things. 
* Big is Back with Telco 3.0 on the horizon.

* Expect more Telco M&A next year. 
* Brands must PARTY & relinquish control to the mob and the moment. 
* Brands must become hosts and facilitators creating platforms not websites. 

Great TRENDS and TRENDING report helping me to create my Startups 2014 Trends post for Curatti.com tomorrow.

Who Should You Follow Back and Why? - Curatti

Who Should You Follow Back and Why? - Curatti | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
If you're just getting started with social networking, here's a hard-earned lesson many veteran online networkers are still coming to terms with. Don’t follow back on social networks, just because.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Something most top e-retailers are missing bsed on our Social Study (featured in Is Ecom Stuck In Is The Mud earlier in the week on Curatti.com http://curatti.com/is-ecommerce-stuck-in-the-mud/ ) is the art of the follow back. @AnastasiaAshman shares the art of these tips on who to follow back and why with this excellent post.

"indiscriminate follow policy" ..what a loss of time and bandwidth !!

I follow because I come across a great mix of revelant information I would not find otherwise.

"...a decision with repercussions you’re going to have to deal with eventually if you want to benefit from your time on social networks..."
