Quick survey: When you look at these, what do you see? When I look at these, I realize that the Internet is becoming an integral part of our society. This really hit me yesterday when my fiancee’s 6 year-old son said he wanted “a MySpace”.  Why did he want a MySpace account?  Because his 10 year-old cousin just got one, and he put all kinds of flashing stuff on the page and thinks it’s really cool.  He’s been bragging about how he has “a MySpace” and how cool it is.  So, it’s official, having “a MySpace” is officially a status-symbol of sorts.  Kind of like a driver’s license, but you have a little more control over when you get one….

Personally I think the future is in the communities that are more personalized to certain groups of people and offer functions that cator to that group.

Social Networks are already making millions and can be sold for a good amount of money.

MySpace affiliated with Google and advertising google ads on its site.

YouTube was offered 600 million already.

I think the overall trend will be a plurality of social networks. One thing that Malcolm Gladwell and others have pointed out is that the internet encourages the establishment of multiple personas, one person could have both a myspace (associated with close friends) or LinkedIn (associated with business contacts) page, and those different personas could co-exist since they exist on different social networks. Perhaps in that way, portals like Google will do just find, because they are general purpose tools that are not really associated with any single social network.

The challenge google might have, is when social networks start to go into their space, search. Yahoo is already talking about social search engines, and of course we know about del.icio.us

Thanks for writing in.

For this particular analysis we wanted to include sites where people create personal profiles with the opportunity to receive/initiate direct interaction and/or knowledge with peers. Under this definition YouTube qualifies as users can create a personal profile and receive direct feedback from other users. We also included blogging sites recognizing personal web properties as ‘personal profiles’ that provide the opportunity to solicit direct interaction from peers.

Pure social media sites, such as Digg and Wikipedia lack elements of the ‘personal profile’ that we were looking for.

I agree that the overlap can be a little blurry; however, you’ll find that historical analysis leveraged less clear definitions of Social Networking.

This lets people live broadcast cameraphone pics to all of their social networking sites (myspace, hi5, blogger, xanga,). All the user has to do is set up an account, register their glogging device (a cameraphone), and set up their glog to broadcast to all their sites by copying the html code that glogger generates into any of their sites.
