The pervasiveness of mobile smartphones (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry), tablets (iPad, Samsung, Dell) and the entire app economy that surrounds it is quickly becoming a dominant business force.

We also can’t ignore the powering growth of Facebook. Over the holiday break, Facebook was named the most-visited site in 2010, beating out Google. And we’re not just talking about big business, either. Groupon -which enables local businesses to offer a unique discount once a pre-determined amount of people commit to purchasing the deal -turned down a $6-billion acquisition attempt by Google, which validated the idea that hyper-local marketing has finally arrived.
