Here we are already started in 2008 and it's still time to get

"There is a particular quote that I love, taken from the Economist
magazine: 'In the early days of the Internet , the idea that it represented an entirely different realm, distinct from the real world, was seized upon by both advocates and critics of the new technology… both groups were wrong, of course. The Internet has not turned out to be a thing apart ... and some of the most exciting uses of the Internet rely on coupling it with the real world." The bridges are here to stay !

With all the buzz about mobility, social networking and online communities, it’s important to take a reality check: What value are we really deriving from these trends? More and more, that’s the question savvy organizations are asking themselves. From viral marketing to content analytics to collaboration and more, organizations are leveraging what seems unstoppable anyway: The proliferation of knowledge and people networks inside organizations, among organizations, and outside organizations altogether. What value will you derive?
A mere sampling of the trends and technologies we’ll focus on includes:
