Businesses will increasingly turn to social networking tools in 2011, predictions from IT research firm IDC. Social and collaboration platforms will gain significantly more momentum next year, report says. IDC predicts 30% of the social software market will be swallowed up by other companies in 2011. Jive Software Inc., will have an IPO in the coming year, according to IDC’s “Top 10 Predictions 2011″ report. The economy, as a whole, will definitely be a factor, holding the market back a bit, analyst says.”]
