War Breeds Innovation

Image via WikipediaWho will dare to experiment with social media in 2009? Small businesses or corporations?

IMHO it will be small business, as most of corporations will cut their budgets and stick to safe and known solutions. They will retreat and fight for keeping the status quo. But war breeds innovation, and small armies will reach out for different ways to survive the war, primarily because they have most flexibility to reorganize armies, secondary they have less soldiers to lose. If they're really smart they will win the war of 2009 and get out stronger while corporations will spend efforts to keep up.
