What's Next?

We have conquered Facebook and Twitter. What is going to be the next greatest thing to grab our attention next? Face it, those of us in marketing and advertising have limited attention spans. We pour all of our free time into getting up to speed on a topic. But we are easily distracted once our real clients demand our attention.

I am continually amazed at the time that people spend on these applications. The ones I am very impressed with are noted social media experts so it is understandable that they are going to be as passionate.

I actually don't want these social media sites to become fads. They have allowed me to reconnect with friends and former coworkers. And they will connect me with new professional and personal acquaintances.

So let's stay focused for a while and see what great things these sites can do personally and professionally.

I can't imagine what's next, but I know it will continue to evolve. It's amazing how much the web has evolved from the bullitin boards of the late 80s and 90s. Even though I reluctantly join in on some of the new things, I must admit I get sucked in quickly and really enjoy it. Here's to our new hyper-connected world!
