When trying to figure out the future of social media, I took a very simple yet effective approach to find the answer. I Google-d it!
When reading "Six Social Media Trends For 2010" I noticed how big of an impact social media not only plays a role amongst adolescents but also in the business world. According to David Armano:
"The New York Times iPhone application recently added sharing functionality which allows a user to easily broadcast an article across networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Many websites already support this functionality, but it's likely that we will see an increase in user behavior as it becomes more mainstream for people to share with networks what they used to do with e-mail lists."
The second article, "What is the Future of Social Media?" really looked at the popularity of social network advertising across the globe. It was really interesting to see that Non-US spending would increase and overtake US spending over the next couple of years. I never would have thought that. It really shows how important social medias are in the success/popularity of a company.
That's all for this week.
Stay tuned next week! CHANDOO OUT!!!

I would love to have the iPhone 3G which has nifty features like launching applications, playing games, cutting and pasting photos or web images, GPS, video camera, etc. I think the smart phone will become more popular especially when some companies are still banning social media access by their employees during work hours.
