I’ve been reading the Social Media Predictions 2009. The introduction by Peter Kim speaks volumes; he subscribes to RSS feeds. From the latest information I’ve seen RSS feed subscriptions are down. And it makes sense; people don’t have time to read thousands of RSS feeds in a day. I’ve been involved in the internet since the TRS-80 or 1980 when I used command line to get recipes over the internet. While recent studies suggests smarter people have thousands of RSS feeds, who really has time to read them? It’s the same analogy of having too many friends to follow with social media. How many social media friends have you never met in person are online friends? What defines a social media friend? Is it the person that says good morning after you’ve broadcasted “Good Morning” on Twitter? Is it when you’ve posted a photo of funny socks on Brightkite and everyone else takes photos of their socks and posts them on Brightkite? Or is it just the information and/or feeling you get when you learn about the Google and Yahoo deal and the fact that someone cares about your socks! I’m looking forward to seeing and witnessing the movements in social media. If you interested in what some of the experts are saying, check out the Social Media Predictions for 2009.
