Social networks are still out of my reach
Nov 24th
I consider myself a tech savy person but for last one year i m feeling that i m out of touch with the new technology. Despite repeated efforts i can not figure out how to use facebook. I know how to create an account, upload photos or videos, post blogs but i dont know why i should use facebook when i m using an msn messenger, a cell phone, a blog and other tools that i have. But now anyone i meet their first question is “Do you have a facebook?” when i answer in negative i get a look as if i live in stone age.
mySpace was the darling of social networking people until three years ago but then something bad happened to them. They were bought by 60 year olds from Fox network and they did not know what to do with it. Facebook fed on their inability to think like a teenager and stormed pass them to have over 500 million members. mySpace is now lurking in the dark with around 75 million members. While bebo, hi5 and orkut are niches without any major appeal.
But this phenomenon is still evolving and privacy concerns might become their Achilles heels.
