★ Three Social Thunderstorms (George Colony/Forrester Research at #leweb)
This talk by Forrester Research CEO George Colony shares three big transitions he sees affecting the web:
- The replacement of the Web Internet with the App Internet, which combines the power of cloud services and native apps while limiting the need for network capacity (weakest link)
- The saturation of Social for consumers, due to limits in both penetration (80-90% today) and usage (number of hours spent on social coming close to shopping and childcare in the US)
- The beginning of Social for enterprise, where the CMO will become as important as the CIO since Social tools will primarily be used for connecting with customers.

Update: Dave Winer has written two reactions about the App Internet trend, and John Battelle as well. Good counterpoint.
