Ism - Blog

Ism also had a blog entry on social networking that I found interesting.


I guess what struck a chord with me was the commentary on the evolution of everything. In reality, I have a similar view. When things get too popular, they die out. I am still fairly young - part of the crowd that remembers when facebook started, and was for college students only. Now, it is starting to hit big with high school students and baby boomers...and honestly, I am beginning to wonder how long it will remain the "in" thing. Already facebook itself has made a few highly unpopular updates to its own look and feel. It is trying too hard for something that started out quite inspired.

I just joined Twitter, and already I can see all the companies latching on to it as well - to advertise, to connect with clients... I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but I can see the advantages of it. Then again, maybe it is expanding too quickly for its own good too? Already I have tried to view my home page and gotten a "Twitter is overloaded" type message, more than once... Who knows?

What does everyone else think?
