A Case Study in Social Media Demographics
There is little doubt that social media is a big deal in today's world.
Adults and even children are starting to participate with the majority
of people online having some attachment to social media in one form or
another.
As sites like Digg and Reddit progress while sites like Pinterest emerge, there is one common player in everyone's discussion of social media. Facebook users have an average of 130 friends now. It's clear that our own expansion into social media is causing others to get involved by default. Will this trend continue? Will social media be as embedded into our lives 5 years from now as it is today?
Trends say yes, but history, particular on the internet, has proven that the mighty can fall and new shiny bouncing balls emerge all the time to replace the old ways. Will anyone ever beat Facebook?
