Changing Trend in Networking
MySpace was launched in August 2003 and gradually become bigger. A few years later, it changed the social networking game. Myspace had so many users and visitors from around the world. In 2006, it surpassed Google and become the most most visited website in the US. In 2008, Facebook surpassed Myspace. Today, June of 2013, Google is the most visited website. Now don't get me wrong, Facebook is still a dominate force of social networking. It's worth billion of dollars. Plus their media-communication and other features are outstanding that some have argued that its still growing. Well it makes sense but others claim it's reached it's peak; it's gradually slowing down. There have been reports of people leaving the massive blue social network to join others. The under dogs, Google Plus (G+) and Tweeter are growing. According to some users, G+ is much cleaner with less spam and easy to use. Others say its great for promoting things and it's knowledgeable while educating. Tweeter is great for promotion and marketing. while these social networks are good, they luck something that Facebook has. The ability to communicate through messages and chats. Secondly, the ability to keep conversions private. On G+ and tweeter, technically one can't message a particular person. Everything someone posts, can be seen by multiple people. In Other words, On Facebook you can post, message and chat while G+ and tweeter are specialized for posts. Don't misunderstand there is a lot more you can do with these social networking. All I'm focusing on are the basic uses. It's comes down to which one you prefer. The image below displays the top social networks and their standings. As you can see Facebook is in the lead but for how long? Or Will it stay in the lead?
