Social Media Predictions for 2009

I would like to take this opportunity to wish friends, family and everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. This year has been tough but I can also say that I have really learned a lot and grown as an individual and as a professional. That being said, 2009 is about pursuing my passion for online community and social media. Although the economy is tough and there are fewer opportunities, I believe it's important to continue to stay true to what you love to do.

In that spirit, this post is interesting. It's about social media predictions for 2009. I believe that any company who does not recognize the value of these endeavors is really missing the boat. It's even more valuable in a down economy.
