Social Media

I remember when Myspace first came to be... What a fun way to keep in touch with your friends! Share music, ideas, thoughts, dates whatever you wanted. Facebook was only used for college students at the time still, I had a friend telling me about FB being used on campus. Ok, cool, well I still have you on Myspace so its all good.

Then Facebook took over the world... which is cool, Myspace became a distant memory, I haven't been on it in probably 2 years or so...

Skype is definatley a useful tool, but the statements they have made about how they are going to become bigger than Facebook fell flat, and now with the IPhone's Face Time app Skype seems to be in even more danger.

And then there is Twitter, which I just don't get the point to unless you are a celebrity or company, no one cares what is going on in your life in 140 words or less... "Had eggs for breakfast, they were awesome!" Yeah, definatley don't care... Twitter didn't really come out and SAY they are going to take on FB, instead it held onto its coat-tails for the ride, anything you post on one you have the option of it showing up on the other... way to leech twitter.

And then of course we have what is probably the biggest social media flop to date, Google Plus. Don't get me wrong I love Google, I love Blogger, Google is great and awesome but the promises of Google Plus being bigger than FB and it will take over as the "IT" social media escape turned out to be completely false! Sorry Google, I still love you...

Face it, Facebook is here to stay and stay at the top!

I'm not an expert on these sites or how to use all of them, I know enough because of my career field, it kind of requires I am familiar with them and their usability. This is just my opinion and some rememberences of magazine articles...
