Are location-based services going to be key to its success, or is there more to the future of this most social of devices? How can brands engage in the mobile social space?

Spurred on by web leaders like Facebook and MySpace and with lower data charges spreading for mobile web access, mobile social usage has soared.

Will there be a battle for survival among the current myriad of mobile-only social networks and video / blogging platforms, or can they succeed with focus on novel functionality and user experience? Should online niche social networks also make the move to mobile? Where are the revenue streams and how effective can the ROI be?

Our session asks: How are we measuring our return on social media engagement? Is social media ROI (return on investment) a key to campaign success?

With hundreds of tools for tracking, monitoring, analyzing and general probing of online social activity, what should we be measuring for ROI effectiveness? And with the economic downturn making waves, just how effective can these tools be and how are they impacting campaigns?

Join us at E Commerce Expo 2008 to discuss approaches to measuring ROI on social media engagement and explore the issues this are raising for marketers and business.
