Magic 8 Ball Predictions for 2011

It’s down to the last few days of 2010 every blogger out there is putting together a list of 2010 social media trends & 2011 predictions. I put out a tweet this morning just as a random comment, joking that I will make my predictions for 2011 using a Magic 8 Ball. I thought on it a bit and thought, well, that’s kind of cool, maybe I’ll do that.

@carrieatthill I think I am going to make some 2011 predictions, but I am going to rely heavily on the Magic 8 ball for my answers…

So here is what the Magic 8 Ball has to say about social media in 2011….

Will mobile shopping hit its stride in 2011? As I see it, yes
Will Location based services will continue to grow? Better not tell you now
Will Groupon will be the next Twitter? Don’t count on it
Will companies be monitoring conversations more carefully? Signs point to yes
Will people come to understand you can not “create” viral? Cannot predict now
Will more B2B companies to include social media marketing in their plans? Yes
Will QR codes become increasingly prevalent? Most likely
Will it ever be cool to NOT talk about #bacon?  Doubtful

I am quite interested to see how these predictions turn out, there will be an update to this post in about 12 months. What are your thoughts on the clairvoyant sphere and its somewhat cryptic answers? Post them here.
