More & more companies around the world (small, medium, big) will be moving to public clouds (social media) to embrace new marketing tactics, expand their customer base, save money on huge budget marketing campaigns. Various organizations will have to deal with preserving, supporting & maintaining their Big Data in Clouds. Big data, as the innovative bridge empowering the connection between businesses & their customers. Current social media firms, will focus on mobility. They will spend resources trying to generate additional sources of revenues through mobile ads. Monetizing mobility, as the big bet.

Patent wars (Apple vs Samsung), will probably continue in 2013 among tech giants, settling lawsuits, chasing after media exposure, increasing industry fragmentation. Patent wars exhaust rivals, add market share & value to the winner. Visual platforms like Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest

1) It is a great honor to host you in my personal blog space & enjoy a music ''shot'' with you Mike. Please update us on your latest artistic & general endeavours. Thanks for the invite! I'm a big fan of your blog, so it's a pleasure to be having a "shot" here. I've been in the studio in London writing and producing my new album "KATALH3H" (part I), recording an exciting new artist - Helena Micy - and getting ready to perform at South by Southwest in Texas. I'm also continuing to teach music production at the University of Westminster, and writing a book that will accompany the second part of "KATALH3H". 2) In one of your latest blog posts, I understood that you are expressing your personal thoughts about persisting for your personal dream.
