- LinkedIn, which I continue to talk about here on the blog, launched a new mobile app. We will discuss what this means for the “third-wheel” social network.
- McKinsey’s latest report, “Ten Tech-Enabled Business Trends to Watch”, is out and it is full of really interesting tidbits. Mark Schaefer has a great recap on his blog, and we plan on debating a few of these trends ourselves.

Quick’n'Dirty 89 Preview: Is Social Over?
One of the bigger stories, right or wrong, this week in the social media world has been Facebook investor Roger McNamee’s recent comments about the future of social. Well, to be honest, he hit on MUCH more than just social. Let’s look at the topics:
- We are entering a post-PC era, where Microsoft “is toast”
- HTML5 will revolutionize advertising and media
- Social is “over”, now relegated to a feature
- Apple is an “unstoppable freight train”
- Facebook will eventually charge for access to the social graph
And a lot, lot more. Well in tomorrow’s Q’n'D we are going to hit on the ten main points made by McNamee and debate each between Aaron and myself.
