NFC traces its roots back to Radio-frequency identification, or RFID. RFID allows a reader to send radio waves to a passive electronic tag for identification and tracking.
Wireless payment solutions.
On January 25, 2011, Bloomberg published a report stating that Apple was actively pursuing development of a mobile payment system employing NFC. New generations of iPhone, iPod and iPad products would reportedly be equipped with NFC capability which would enable small-scale monetary transactions.[70]
Near Field Communications World stated on March 21, 2011 that Sonim Technologies will add NFC to its XP3300 Force[71] device later this year.[72]
On May 2, 2011, RIM announced[73] the Blackberry Bold 9900, a new device that will use NFC technology.
In May 2011, Google announced Google Wallet, an Android application that will make use of NFC to make payments at stores. The card information will be stored in the app and will be used to make the transactions.
On January 9, 2012, Sony Ericsson announced Xperia SmartTags and its Android telephone supporting NFC, the Xperia S.
On January 27, 2012, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced in a briefing that the controller of the Wii U home console will have install a NFC function. By installing this functionality, it will become possible to create cards and figurines that can electronically read and write data via noncontact NFC and to expand the new play format in the video game world. Adoption of this functionality will enable various other possibilities such as using it as a means of making micropayments.[74]
In February 2012, Microsoft announced that all Windows Phone 8 devices will make use of the NFC technology.
Noticeable development will heat up.
Yes i think opportunities wise we need to capture . Otgerwise our net return will be flowing around
LinkedIn’s Competitive Advantage
Two of the strongest monopolies online are search engines and social networks. There’s rarely a good reason to use a less popular social network, and search engines have notoriously unforgiving economies of scale.
LinkedIn has solved both problems: for many users, it’s a second social network and a second search engine.
In both cases, LinkedIn isn’t competing with the dominant companies in the industry, because it’s targeting a very narrow use case. In search terms, LinkedIn is the ideal tool for finding job candidates with a very specific set of skills—project managers who know Perl and live within commuting distance of San Diego, or Ivy-Educated distressed debt analysts with at least a year of experience, for example. There’s no good way for Google or Bing to parse that query, but LinkedIn has that information at its fingertips. For recruiters, whose main “overhead” involves looking at résumés that turn out to be irrelevant, this is key.
As a social network, LinkedIn has positioned itself as the place for things you’re willing to brag about, which are not fun. This is brilliant. Most social networking tools are designed around the human need to show off. That can easily be divided into two basic categories: being happier than other people (partying, making great jokes, having kids, being close to family members, discovering funny videos), and giving up more happiness than other people (working hard, taking business trips, publishing a complex academic paper, dealing with a job search).
That’s a great niche, since things that aren’t fun are often the most impressive to potential employers. LinkedIn has clearly pressed this advantage by adding a powerpoint presentation-sharing app, an itinerary app, and a book-tracking app to user profiles. In my experience, very few people use the book-reading app to talk about fiction—they’re usually readingToo Big To Fail. The travel app isn’t for reporting on vacations; it’s for reporting on business trips.
This gives LinkedIn a purpose as a social network. They aren’t competing head-to-head with Facebook or Twitter. Instead, they’re absorbing the content that’s too boring for either. At the same time, Facebook and Twitter provide an outlet for anything less professional. It’s a symbiotic relationship that allows each network to move more content online.
(Yes, LinkedIn has Twitter integration. And some people do use Twitter to post mostly professional information. Twitter is a medium less dependent on message than LinkedIn or Facebook, so it makes sense that it could be cloned or integrated by each.)
LinkedIn also has another advantage: they have consciously tried to own people’s names as an SEO strategy. This is probably responsible for a huge fraction of their traffic. They don’t find people whose search queries imply intent: they don’t show up for terms like “tech jobs” or “find jobs,” and their ranking for “professional networking” is due to their Q&A page. LinkedIn is trying to find people who are looking for other people in a professional context, and they’re trying to make LinkedIn the way to do this.
LinkedIn actually has a great relationship with search engines; they even have “social sitelinks”:

That’s a tough policy for Google to reverse, so LinkedIn’s SEO risk is overstated.
LinkedIn’s competitive advantages rely on network effects. There is simply no better place to find out about someone’s professional skills and reputation. And there’s no better place to upload your résumé. LinkedIn has supplanted the personal site (will a hiring manager find it?) and the job board (what about when you’re not actively looking for a job?).
