It’s now possible to look at a smartphone and unlock it via facial recognition, and then talk to it to ask it to find the nearest bank ATM. However, at the same time, we see that the technology is not quite there yet. We might have to remove our glasses for the facial recognition to work, our smartphones don’t always understand us when we speak, and the location-sensing technology sometimes has trouble finding us.

Zappos users were 13 times more likely to share a purchase on Pinterest than on Twitter and 8 times more likely to share on Facebook than Twitter. Even so, posts on Twitter brought in the most revenue - an average of $33.66 an order - while Facebook posts garnered $2.08 per order and sales from Pinterest were 75 cents on average.

Profound changes are underway.

Skeptics will finish last.

Focusing on adoption is a dead-end strategy.

Companies must be strategic.

Companies must be decisive.

Companies must act now.

Social software tools include wikis, blogs, microblogs, discussion forums, social networks, social bookmarks, tagging, crowdsourcing, and prediction markets.

#SocialEra ?

Companies cannot survive (let alone prosper) without recognizing that Social as a phenomenon can allow us to redefine our organisations to be inherently more fast fluid and flexible by its very design. Not by doing a little bit more, or slimming down a bit here or there, or by doing a few things a little bit faster. No. We will not tweak our way into the future.
