With unlimited resources, I'd be investing in mobile, in 3-D worlds, in multi-touch technology, in “Army of One” concepts, in Swarm technology, and the like. But resources are never unlimited, unless you're Congress, and even they will run into reality soon.

At some point in the future, we'll have broadcast power over microwaves resulting in infinite battery life, full 5G global wifi, and single user ID systems enabling easy authentication, etc. We're not there yet, and I highly doubt 2010 will be The Year of Mobile.

The single most important thing is to be a great f'ing agent; your customers will do your social media marketing for you.

At the same time, if you're doing that, and if the rest of your marketing is solid, and you have some time/money left to go the extra mile, then social media or social networking engagement makes all the sense in the world. But it's such a case-by-case, individual-by-individual basis that blanket strategies don't appeal to me much.

You have so little faith in Steve Jobs. I'm sure he's already working on the iCar, the world's first real smartcar; where one can plug in their iPhone (which solves the battery problem), their apple tablet and their iPod, while the iCar takes care of all the driving. And you know it's going to look way cooler than anything Lexus or BMW can put out ;)
