\nThe Future of the Social Web: In Five Eras<\/a>:
\n[Via Web Strategy by Jeremiah<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Expect the Groundswell to continue, in which people connect to each other – rather than institutions. Consumer adoption of social networks is increasing a rapid pace,<\/a> brands are adopting even during a recession, <\/a> so expect the space to rapidly innovate to match this trend. Clients can access this report<\/a>, but to summarize what we found, in the executive summary we state:<\/p>\n

Today’s social experience is disjointed because consumers have separate identities in each social network they visit. A simple set of technologies that enable a portable identity will soon empower consumers to bring their identities with them — transforming marketing, eCommerce, CRM, and advertising. IDs are just the beginning of this transformation, in which the Web will evolve step by step from separate social sites into a shared social experience. Consumers will rely on their peers as they make online decisions, whether or not brands choose to participate. Socially connected consumers will strengthen communities and shift power away from brands and CRM systems; eventually this will result in empowered communities defining the next generation of products.<\/p>\n

We found that technologies trigger changes in consumer adoption, and brands will follow, resulting in five distinct waves, they consist of:<\/p>\n

The Five Eras of the Social Web:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

1) Era of Social Relationships: People connect to others and share
\n2) Era of Social Functionality: Social networks become like operating system
\n3) Era of Social Colonization: Every experience can now be social
\n4) Era of Social Context: Personalized and accurate content
\n5) Era of Social Commerce: Communities define future products and services<\/p>\n

[More<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the article, the second step wiil not reach maturity until 2010-2012. Jeremiah has <\/em>another post with some examples<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

What this tells us is that we are still early in the social web revolution. But it moves fast so organizations should start getting on board now. IF they have not even started step 1, then they have a lot of catching up to do.
