The Best of 2011

The Best of 2011

2011 saw many changes in the digital spaces. Social media really came of age with its prominent use during the Arab Spring. We saw the introduction of a major, new social network, Google Plus, and we discovered that even a giant like Google can make colossal mistakes in the social sphere. And speaking of colossal failures, let’s not forget the epic communications failure in Singapore.

We sadly also saw the demise of virtual worlds as a serious enterprise application contender. But we also redicsovered an old radio favourite reborn for digital and transmitted socially.

2011 also gave us some great entertainment in the world of film, in role-playing games and a sneak-peek of a forthcoming television series.

All in all a year of major change. Some for the better, and some for the worse. But always a year of learning and reflection. Bring on 2012!
