Social media is not an option – it is a must! Mobile is growing – users will expect websites and tools that work mobile as well as desktop. You need to pay attention to Google+ – so far, it has been Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but you can’t ignore Google! Images, images, images – Images will be the top content and furthest reaching in social media. Video – Vine, Instagram, Google + hangouts, and YouTube will be popular media for getting messages across. Podcasts will continue to grow.

My own children, both still not yet in high school, are media omnivores. They will watch broadcast TV from Comcast, they will view YouTube videos, they enjoy Netflix, they watch iTunes movies using the AppleTV box, and they still watch a DVD or two while we roadtrip somewhere. No single solution exists that satisfies everyone and it's awfully nice to have a variety of choices.
