Social Media Predictions for 2014

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!
