When I reserved Socialmediasystems.com three years ago for $8.75 my ex-partner (a programmer) laughed at me.
My, my what a great deal has changed since then. In an effort to keep up, here are some current trends:
- Check out Meetup.com and Bloblive.com, and Ning.com
- As the technology advances, and becomes more user-friendly, the grass roots localisation of the web is coming to fruition
- Local Media companies are replacing local TV stations, Radio stations, Newspapers, Tabloids, Leads Clubs, Social Clubs, Affinity Associations, Political Action groups….
- Once a small cog in Google’s big wheel, you can now reach half the population between MySpace and Facebook, and quite possibly 80% on about 46 different social media sites.
- The Internet has changed traffic patterns, life styles, culture, demographics, and the media. (Heck, it is the media!)
changes almost happen every now and then. all we have to do is to learn from it. being aware of what is happening on your social media whether it’s online or gives you the edge.
You are right, Social Media is all the rage nowadys. To be honest with you, I don’t understand how to optimize all options available but am trying to learn. On the other hand, I find your website interesting, and useful.
It is true social media is the new place to market and to distribute a message. However it is harde than conventional methods and needs alot of attention.
It is not hard, just extemely time consuming
