The Evolution of Social Media
First we had basic chat channel, then we moved onto targeted dating sites like Match.com and eHarmony.com, followed by social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn to name a few. While the online space was growing by leaps and bounds to connect people, we also saw developments of SmartPhones like Blackberry and iPhones.
Today, there are over 75 Million users of Dating websites globally, millions and millions more use networking sites, and yet another sector that uses SmartPhones -with the buzz of Location Based Dating, there is no question that an overlap exists between the usage of online space of chatting, dating, and social networking and the “offline” SmartPhones.
The question is, is this an untapped market yet to develop? Yes! Are there developments taking place in this new industry? Yes!What are they & how will they benefit us? Or will they simply create privacy issues?
I hope to run this blog to discuss such technologies, and its pros and cons and hope it will help us understand this market and its future better.
