33. Google Social Search

34. “ The impacts are far reaching, now every web page on the Internet is social and can have consumer opinion – both positive and negative.” - Jeremiah Owyang

35. Your website is now social, whether you like it or not. Your SideWiki entries will be tied to your Google Profile (real name) to prevent anonymous commenting & trolls. Entries can be voted helpful or non-helpful by the community. Barriers to entry may prevent mainstream adoption. Expect Facebook to make a similar play here.

36. location-based social networks

39. AUGMENTED REALITY DEFINITION: a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with (or augmented by) virtual computer-generated imagery - creating a mixed reality ( THE COOL KIDS CALL IT “AR” )
