I think we will look back at the Facebook IPO as the day the infant period of the social media era ended.
The social space is officially big business, and with that comes a harder push for monetization and regulation. Where will all of this take us, what is the future of social media?
Nobody can really make that prediction. Did you honestly think back in 2006 that adult professionals would be talking about how tweeting, liking and pinning might be able to increase revenue for a company?
To have a little fun and spark some conversation, I wanted to share this video with you.
The one question from this video that stood out to me was if Facebook is really worth as much as McDonald’s? What I learned some time ago was that the McDonald’s fortune is not really in their product or service, but more in the real estate they own.
That said, what is more valuable than information? Sites like Google and Facebook arguably have more targeted info on people than anyone, even the government!
So where does all of this lead too? I’m very interested to hear your opinions on the Facebook IPO and future of social media. Please share in the comment section below!
LOVE IT!
