We have arrived
So, we have finally arrived to ‘today’ (pun barely intended) and how we use the internet and associated devices to interact with people. Virtual Social Networks are in full bloom and it seems like every day there is a new product launched. Many of these products enjoy only a very passing interest from the very fickle and savvy audience that they target, but some of the offerings have been around for years and maintain a user-base of several thousands - and in some cases millions of users.
So what makes some of these Social Networking tools more successul than others? Is it all in the timing? Brand loyalty? Does people move with their groups? Free versus subscription based services? We’ll be taking a closer look at many of the services that you may already be using (read: Flickr, MMORPGs, Twitter, IMs, etc) but we will also be exploring the ones that are still flying under the radar of the masses but that may soon ‘pop’.
Coming up next: How do you connect?
