Forrester Research's Chairman and CEO George Colony told a room full of Web and social-media enthusiasts Thursday at Le Web that that the current crop of trendy social businesses like the location-based, check-in social network, Foursquare, are “nonsense” and that the “next wave of social” will involve applications that are more efficient, faster, easier to use and have a higher “value-to-time proposition” than the current market players.
