Well we also keep talking about BI, how about Self Learning CI - customers making your site better AND PREFERRED due to their participation.

I also believe we will see mobile truly begin to impact multi-channel retailers in 2009. The current economic conditions won't deter sales of full browser capable phones like the iPhone, Google Android (G1) and Palm Pre. As these phones achieve higher market penetration, retailers will really need to understand how to use the platform to better meet their customers needs or get left behind. Good stuff.

Video adoption has surged and the idea that reviews are going to remain in written form seems unlikely. Integrating video into your UCG strategy and enabling it for your customers will be important in 2009. RSS still hasn’t hit the mainstream, but could eCommerce sites help drive RSS adoption and at the same time increase the effectiveness and reduce the costs of their communications with customers? Yes! http://www.blindfiveyearold.com/ecommerce-and-rss I’m not saying eCommerce should abandon email, but the ones who figure out RSS will have a marked advantage.
