Social Networks More Popular Than e-mail!!!
The New York Times reported today that for the first time, Internet users are spending more time on social networking and video sites than on e-mail. According to a report by Nielsen, there was a 1,905 percentage change in the time that users spent viewing online video and an 883 percentage increase in social networking use from February 2003 to 2009.
These changes represent something of a paradigm shift in consumer's relationship with the Internet. People are increasingly moving away from portal-oriented sites, like shopping directories to social networking sites like YouTube and Facebook and providers of niche content.
While marketers have yet to master advertising on social networking sites, Internet pundits and social media enthusiasts believe that over the next year or so a viable business model will emerge that is reliant on social networking user influence and opinions.
Until next time...
Good Luck and Good Networking!!!!!
There has been more advertisements popping up in social networking sites like Facebook for the past year.
Of course they all can't be "targeted advertisements" because there's a wide range of people/audiences using social networking sites.
