			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2009, I am excited to be an interactive marketer within B2B.  Here is what I am looking forward to seeing shape out in the next 14 months:</p>
<ol>
<li>Nothings figured out &#8211; We on the B2B side are a little further down the long tail then the rest.  We have a lot to figure out this year with some great models from our brethren on the B2C side.  But it has to be different &#8211; more measurable, more edgy, more applications, and in the end more revenue.  Nothings figured out and I am looking forward to participating.</li>
<li>Commerce &#8211; I know you probably expected to see Social Media at number 1.  But, Commerce is where I am focused.  B2B e-commerce is still not defined, and there is still a lot of work for those of that are passionate.  And I like to follow the money.  I think there is a lot of money for B2B organizations to leverage in B2B e-commerce.  I also think that like in B2C, B2B marketers are going to start getting more involved in commerce.  The user experience needs to be dictated from marketing, and not from IT.</li>
<li>Social Media &#8211; Twitter acceptance, Facebook wild fire spread, LinkedIN building applications, and all the others will start to penetrate B2B &#8211; especially for communicating and thought leadership.</li>
<li>Acquisition Marketing &#8211; As B2B marketers we know SEO, e-mail marketing and white paper syndication.  I think this is the year of figuring out PPC and Online Display advertising leveraged for B2B AND viral.</li>
</ol>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait.  We are ready to go, and ready to start thinking outside of the box.  Commerce and Social Media will be my focus.  What is yours?</p>
