I always enjoy reading the predictions for Social Media each
year. It is so fun to see what people think will happen. Sometimes I agree, but
most times not, however, this time I found a couple that I actually agree with.
In an article posted this morning by Alex Kantrowitz, he predicts two things I
think are we will see in 2014:
Facebook will not tank necessarily but the
average time spent on it will. It has long been predicted that Facebook’s time
is coming to an end, yet, it is still a very successful social media site. I do
agree that average time users spend on the site will decrease. Mostly because
there are numerous social media platforms now that people are using. In the
past, Facebook was a major player because options were limited, but today,
there are tons of competitors.
Vine will be the next big social media thing.
While I do love SnapChat, I think 2013 was its year and Vine has been out there
slowly building its user base. I currently do not use Vine but have to admit
that I give it a few more weeks before I am an active user.
Other than that, I have not really seen many predictions
that I agree with or just read them and think “Duh.” Have you seen any predictions
that you think are worth sharing?
Here is to 2014! Let’s see what social media brings!
