Social Networks – The Future of Facebook

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 at 7:36 am

What will the future of Facebook look like in a few years? I still remember when it was brand-spanking new. I was in the middle of college when someone told me about this website called “Facebook”. I was confused as to what the point of it was exactly. After all, I spoke to all of my friends via regular mail as well as by telephone and/or AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). What did I need this web site for? A few years later and now Facebook is one of the hottest social networking sites for everyone- including my parents! Who would have thought?

After all, there was the huge Myspace craze that people were falling over each other to join. The neat thing about My-space was the fact that it was so pliable. There weren’t any real age restrictions (or at least no real age verifications in place) and you could essentially design your own web page to represent yourself on this social site. People were able to find old classmates, friends, family members, music bands and more.

There are some who have speculated that it has “sold out” by allowing non-college persons to join. However, only time will tell whether or not this has a significant impact on the overall effectiveness of the site to actually connect friends, family, colleagues and business partners.
