The target audience for this site would have a majority responses be positive towards social media. I think the question tho is.. even tho WE all love it, do the PEOPLE we’re networking with love it too?

Someone mentioned the exodus from MySpace. I would argue that was due to a series of bad decisions by the company and a poor working site (the dreaded “unexpected error” that was actually expected), not the socialness (is that a word?) of the site.

I think the tools will change, but the mentality behind it will continue.

The more we head towards being dependent on mobile devices, the more, I think, we will see connectivity in the virtual world increase. I don’t see a crash in SM happening at all.

Crash? No. Reinvention? Probably. Evolution? Definitely! Social networking continues to change and evolve. From the stumblings of Bulletin Board forums to the shell of MySpace to the new epoch of Facebook – they are here to stay.

Look at how many people commented on this topic. Then count how many of those comments you think actually added anything new to the discussion. That’s why Social Media is indeed here to stay, but also why it is headed for a correction.

Jesse I don’t think it’s headed for an end, it’s just difficult to show the client how to “see” their return on investment.

Social media has become a daily part of peoples lives, so I doubt that it’s going to go anywhere…… as long as the various social media sites keep improving the users ability to filter out what they (users) don’t want to see.

I don’t think they will crash…I do think sites will continue to evolve and tweak their offerings and uses.

Social media is not Facebook and Twitter. It is bulletin boards (from the dark ages of Internet and still around big time), local pages, E-MAIL for goodness sake! Commmenting on articles on this site. Texting on my phone. Sharing pics on Snapfish. It is huge and an integral part of our lives because we are social and have always used networks of one kind or another. I bet people wondered in 1590 if we were printing too many books and fliers. Ha.
