I just woke up in the morning thinking about the days when people went on MySpace. I was on MySpace too. Everyone was on MySpace but eventually the site died out and it was replaced by Facebook and Twitter. About 5 years ago or so, people actually thought MySpace was going to stay forever, but it died. I have a feeling it might have to do something with the 2008 election - it seems like when Obama got elected, MySpace started to lose popularity. I think MySpace was sort of a rebellion site when we had George W Bush in office, but when Obama was in there, people could care less about "rebelling" against "the man" and social media has grown up. But I don't think politics was even related to that.
Now, I have a feeling that Facebook and Twitter are going to die out as well. Facebook is a lot of drama and Twitter is a lot of...I don't know, it is boring. But I don't know what is going to happen next in the world of social media?
I don't see any emerging sites coming up...Google+ is trying to get on the scene of the social media and probably Microsoft will do something with social media as well, unless you count MSN as something that is related to social media, but I have a feeling that social media is starting to become a dying fad. I am out of touch and I don't know what the rising trend on the internet - maybe actually interacting with people in person. People are actually getting bored with social media and it is turning into something for old people like e-mail.
YouTube is always a standard and I have a feeling that YouTube is not going to die. It has become "the video site" of the internet and I have a feeling Hulu is going to pick up. Ebay and Amazon are the standards of the web as well, and I don't think they are ever going to lose their popularity. Then you have Google and Bing, which are the search engines and don't forget "good ol' porn." That might be a sign of the death of the internet, it will be just filled with porn..lol, which is probably the thing that made the internet popular in the first place. I am not a techie and I am not up to the latest trends in technology. I think some of this stuff is cool, but I don't know what is going to be popular in the next few years.
I have a feeling you are going to have your standards, but social media might be just a fad just like pet rocks and leisure suits. I think people are starting to realize it's flaws and it is starting to be a feeding ground for a lot of drama. I don't know what is going to be next in the world of the internet.
Here is my predictions. Online entertainment is going to rise, along with eBiz and online education. I have a feeling that we might see a revolution in entertainment, such as Netflix. I see a lot of people watching TV and listening to music online, which will probably replaced the traditional cable. Video gaming, movie, and TV show watching, along with porn is probably going to replace social media. Or you might see something for a more futuristic alternative to education and business. Facebook is starting to become more business friendly and is used more for promotions. I have a feeling that YouTube is going to kick up. You never know.
