Saleforce acquired Radian6

When I reviewed the future of the BI at the end of last year I expected that social network layer will begin to trickle into the BI layer.

While SAP has already begun to develop products that integrates the organization social network data,

Saleforce is one of the first companies to make significant step towards implemeting social networks by purchasing Radian6which  is the leading supplier of social media monitoring.
