Increasing Internet Community Size....and revenue!
In the Social Networking industry, the two sectors that show the largest potential for revenue are: (1) Enterprise Social Networking (also known as Business Social Networking) and (2) Mobile Social Networking. Both are exciting spaces to watch, with the industry being re-invented with each new teechnology being introduced to the market.
Enterprise Social Networking: Intracorporate Networking has grown significantly over the last 2 years. Many desktop software companies are embedding social networking for enterprise applications. As a way to increase productivity, idea sharing and increased business performance, enterprise social networking has found its way in the workplace as a collaboration tool.
Mobile: Many experts in the industry agree that mobile usage of the internet will eclipse computers and laptop usage. For the social networking industry, this technology represents the road to the future. Mobile social networking is strongest in Europe and is growing significantly in the Far East. Some Mobile based carriers in North American have changed their business philosophies with third party solutions, paving the way to more European based business models. This event will cover the new technologies and business models for Social Networking.
Business Social Networking: It was clear to our organization four years ago that Business Social Networking will fiscally outperform all other social networking markets. With some popular sites charging a USD $200 per month membership fee, many more business executives have signed up without hesitation. Four years ago, the market consisted of about a half dozen Enterprise Social Networking websites. Over the last year, the number of websites has grown exponentially. Clearly, the market is starting to mature, and so we will have Enterprise Social Networking covered at the San Francisco event.
The annual Mobile and Enterprise Social Networking event will take place in San Francisco on Thursday and Friday, July 10-11, 2008.
