ReadWriteWeb has done its annual State of the Web. Here are the top 5 web trends in 2009, according to the highly respected technology blog.
I find ReadWriteWeb to be one of the best sources around to follow the latest developments on the web. Their bloggers are all knowledgable and write with at deep understanding of the the radical changes we are in the middle of. Thus it has been with great curiosity I have studied what they consider to be the top 5 web trends in 2009. And to be honest: I think they hit it right on – again.
Here are the five trends:
Unstructured information gives way to structured data – paving the road to more intelligent computing.
A new form of communication with a social graph associated with it.
Information must be relevant and personal to each individual.
4. Mobile web/augmented reality
Iphone was a paradigm shift, and Android is on the rise. With it comes the mobile web apps revolution.
Real world objects, like fridges and toasters, get connected to Internet.
Here is a presentation ReadWriteWeb has made to present the five important trends:

From what I can see, they ultimately end up following each other or they find people who are just trying to add followers by following everyone back. What I find ironic about this is they’re not reaching their customers, and they just end up screaming at each other, except no one’s listening in this crowd. However, even if they were listening, they’re definitely not buying anything! It’s a serious misunderstanding of Social Media, and I’m really glad you brought it up.

I total agree. I like to think of social media as a big party. All you have to do is be yourself and meet people. If you go to a party with a demo box and try to sell everybody something, people will run away. Social media is not an advertising tool it is a way to meet people and tell them what you do. Let them ask the questions.

You are so 100% on target. Screaming only gets you one thing – no voice.

Truly the days of monologuing are over in the online medium and it is all about two-way communication. Organizations can only ignore this principle at their peril!

Kyle, your comments are right on…
I spend probably 15-20 minutes a day blocking these spammers that try to ramrod their message down my throat about one thing or another. A Major turnoff…
What these people are doing would be akin to organizing a rally to push a message to ppl whom you have no idea what their interest is. It is truly a numbers game without any logic.

Great reminder. There are a lot of companies that need to read this post BEFORE they set up social media accounts. I am following a few companies on the local scale that are guilty. I originally started following them because I was surprised that they actually had taken the initiative to dive in. It quickly became clear they just set up their social media accounts because it is the "in" thing and have no strategy behind their work. Tweeting every single day that you are a one stop shop and sending people to your web site does not make for an effective strategy.
