The demise of social networks ... Part 2

So, i had blogged about how the importance of social networks is going down and people on the internet have started spending less and less time on these platforms now.  I have in fact met some people, in their college right now, who practically describe their lives on social networks and share everything with their friends - earlier using their laptops - later using their iPhones and Blackberry's - now, NOT SO MUCH.  They have actually gotten bored of "facebook" as facebook is synonymous with social networking now.  Reasons are plenty - bored - less time on hands - looking at other stuff online (hmmm... interesting) - dont want people to know some stuff et all and a lot of other reasons.

But, then on the flip side, i read this interesting article about Google + which talked about adding more and more cool and different features to google + so it could co exist with Facebook and not be a facebook killer - which in my knowledge would mean social networking with a lot of extra features and options, which could enhance one's personal knowledge - increase their business branding - increase their sales online.

So, i guess no one can really be sure whether social network is going to die a gradual death or would it be enhanced with more productive lifestyle features, either to enhance one's personal knowledge or to grow one's business, in either case, if you are already not on social networking platforms promoting your business houses, i think it is time you started doing that.  It is time, you get on the bandwagon and get right up there with your competitors.

I do admit, we generally do have a keen commercial interest when we BLOG, but this is a genuine advice as an internet strategy consultant that if you are not already promoting yourself on social media platforms you are already late and you should start immediately and we can help you do that and also get caught up with your competitors who are already there.

Social Networking - Not so Social Anymore :'(

So, social networking has been a primary time-spending area for internet users online of late. Be it any age group or any place from which the internet is accessed, users tend to go and spend a lot of time on social media websites.  There are research reports supporting the above claim and the sheer amount of users on Facebook and other social media platforms is a very good testimony of the popularity of these platforms.

However, of late there have been a lot of reports and articles coming out claiming that internet users are now getting bored of social media sites and have started to spend less and less time on them.  WOW!!! so does this mean that internet users are going to be spending less time online or does this mean that internet users are going to be spending time doing other useful things, which they have access to online - like educating themselves and increasing their know-how about things, finding your products and services, buying more items online since they have time and need something to do.

As a software services, website designing and online marketing company, this is both good and bad for us.  Social Media platforms had become an important and integral part of any online marketing campaign and one of the primary selling point for our customers.  With users now starting to spend less time on it, the focus and the importance of social media campaigns is going to dwindle (however please dont expect a drastic fall on an immediate basis) - now that is the downside for us, however the plus side would be that the other activities that we do on a regular basis to get your businesses ranked up higher and get you more traffic and increase your revenues are going to increase.  So more sensible campaigns, a shift from the almost automated work schedules and use of more brain power and trust us, with the kind of education qualifications and experience everyone has at MAG Studios, that is never an issue.
