commentary on the way Web 2.0 is used and future trends
Critique of today's social media climate.
But social media today is a pure mess: it has become a collection of
countless features, tools, and applications fighting for a piece of the pie.
While "eyeballs" used to be the coveted metric, both ad publishers and investors now realize that having smaller well-targeted niches can lead to much better returns than marketing to one large undifferentiated mass of users.
How social media will change the way we communicate
nieuwe trends worden 'mensen' en 'inhoud' zeggen ze hier. maar gaat voorbij aan het feit dat er een onderstroom is van niet-zo-early adapters die het web gebruiken voor wat ze graag willen doen: de fora van motorliefhebbers en vissenkwekers. een heleboel

We have social media gurus, social media startups, social media books, and social media firms. It is now common practice among corporations to hire social media strategists, assign community managers, and launch social media campaigns, all designed to tap into the power of social media.

Social media will no longer be about features and applications. These have become a dime a dozen. People will be looking to get tangible and relevant value out of their social experience; they'll be looking for meaning and for order.

Users, marketers, and companies face an incredible amount of noise, too. For every new application that relies on a network, another crops up that helps users manage it. While "eyeballs" used to be the coveted metric, both ad publishers and investors now realize that having smaller well-targeted niches can lead to much better returns than marketing to one large undifferentiated mass of users.
Wohin die Reise so geht ...
Social media has forever changed the way people use technology to interact
with others, but it can no longer satisfy people's needs in its current form and
must change course.
The new form of social media will be about creating "whole products" and
complete experiences, all in real time, across the web, mobile, and live. Each
user will be able to create his or her own experience using tools, features, and
apps that magically coalesce. People will be able to move seamlessly through
information that is available to them anywhere, anytime, sharing rich content
with a rich set of groups and networks that they themselves define. Innovative
companies that are able to listen to these needs and deliver products based on
them will not only survive but thrive in the coming months and years as people
eagerly advance on the inviting waters of the new social alchemy.
