So where does that leave your online marketing? Should you start researching how you are going to market to this new platform? Is your online marketing obsolete? Where does it fit in your online marketing strategy? I would suggest leave it the same place it was before. With new technologies and new ideas they are fantastic but unfortunately no one uses them except the innovators and pioneers. So many new and amazing technologies never make it to the mainstream. E.g. electronic Books, Electronic newspapers, ePens etc.. Surface is another media. Its a publicity thing right now for Microsoft to get back into the headlines. Its not mainstream yet. No one is using it. How many people in Australia have an iPhone from Apple? 10? There are only 10,000 people using Second Life in Australia.

Some products make it through to the mainstream like iPods, Personal computers, Mobile phones, pagers etc.. and then you need to think about how that effects your online marketing. My rule of thumb is this, If the taxi drivers are talking about it then its mainstream and you need to worry about it. Otherwise ohh and ahh about it but wait 2 more years. Right now I would suggest to you that you need to get your online marketing happening because the taxi drivers know how to go on the internet now!
