Communications experts predict trends for 2008

Last year, the fellows of the Society for New Communications Research made several correct predictions, including increased popularity of YouTube and Second Life, the rise of social media tools and APIs, and increased use of social media tools by marketers.  For 2008, SNCR's fellows are predicting increased micro-blogging (eg. Twitter) and corporate blogging. Organizations will undertake multi-media communications projects that include audio, video and virtual environments.  They also anticipate universal identities that can be used across all social networks.
