When it comes to predicting emerging technology trends and the effects it has on businesses and marketing, there’s no better source than Brian Solis. Mr. Soils, a Bay Area resident and futurist, has been operating his influential blog since 2005. While there aren’t daily articles, as Mr. Soils is a busy being the principal analyst at the Altimeter Group, he still manages to share weekly or bi-weekly posts covering topics ranging from “Five Trends Shaping the Future of Work” to introducing marketers to Generation C.

When Mr. Soils isn’t composing blog posts, he is a keynote speaker, author of books like What’s the Future of Business (WTF), and contributor to publications like USA Today, Wired, Fast Company, VentureBeat, and the Harvard Business Review.
