Today I read an interesting blog by Andrew Keen called "Blogging is dead, but long live the blog". The synopsis of this blog is that those blogs that offer a portal for social interaction will "live long" while those that simply provide static (not interactive) information will die out. I gave it some thought and I disagree...in a way... Blogs are not dying and social networks are not only popular until the next one comes along unless they choose to be defeated. I know a lot of people that were using one particular social network a lot for a long time, but now they have switched to another, stating that it is more attractive and user friendly. Then, this social networking platform changed its layout and all of a sudden people started debating whether or not to leave this social network, but there isn't a better substitute for it yet. The result? They stay and await something better.
Zack and I have discussed the problem of "dying social networks and blogs". My opinion is that social networks and blogs that appear to have few followers/members or appear to be losing popularity are not dying. Well, not if they choose to keep up with current internet trends, needs of their followers/members and embrace change. Nothing can stay the same and remain interesting forever. I sure am glad! I would be quite bored, otherwise! We all like to be comfortable with the way things are, however; once Brands, bloggers, social networks and non-profits/NGO's and MORE begin working together instead of independently of one another, I believe that we will see real, global change that will completely shift the way we way we view social media as it exists today. Brand awareness will become brand empowerment meaning that consumers will actually be aware of their loyalty to brands/bloggers/social networks and this realization will have them seeking more from those entities. Societies that currently struggle around the globe will be able to become self-sustaining much more quickly.
Sound too good to be true? No way. Zack and I have been working very hard and now we know exactly how to help everyone achieve the goals they want regarding these internet shifts while making a positive global impact. Economical, societal and ecological balance in the world by utilizing what already exists on the internet and bringing it to the internet users, by working smarter, not harder!
