10 Emerging Social Platforms and How Businesses Can Use Them

While reading about the article on 'Edge organizations and Business Platforms' I came to realize that social networks are playing a critical role in creating business platforms of today. No better example of how facebook and twitter are changing the way we stay in touch with friends and family. Also businesses are realizing that tapping into social networks will help them get alot more customers and revenue, and hence are putting emphasis on it on their websites.

So I did some research on social network platforms and came across this rather interesting blog by Erica Swallow which talks about the 10 Emerging Social Platforms and How Businesses Can Use Them. She mentions 10 of the most intriguing, but lesser known, location-based, Q&A, press and microblogging social platforms out there and how more businesses can start using them. Many innovative brands have already begun to experiment with these social platforms which helps them not only reach larger audiences but also test new advertising models.
