Amber Naslund @ radian6 took a look at 64,000 social media related conversations last month. From that data here are the 5 key trends to watch.

3. Measurement & Accountability - If you can't measure it - then why do it? Capabilities are growing everyday. These will spur more investment and efficiency.
4. Privacy & Participation - Some say the current has ebbed back to privacy. However, don't you think that that the digital divide will not be about access to hardware - but the gap between those with public data and those who do not have public data?
