Tue, 31 Oct 2006 10:04:04 +0000 http://www.bomega.com/2006/09/23/the-end-of-social-networking/#comment-310 [...] In september I wrote a blog post titled “The end of social networking“. It was quoted on a few blogs and I got a lot of, euh, feedback from people who either slightly disagreed or fanatically agree. Anyway, the title was misleading because I didn’t exactly say that I thought that all Social Networks would end. What I said (or wanted to say) was that social networking just for the sake of social networking is not going to be interesting very long. The novelty will be gone. Unless… [...] [...] In september I wrote a blog post titled “The end of social networking“.

If you think that collecting contacts is synonymous to social networking, you're a lousy networker. 2. People subscribing to several SERIOUS networks at the same time AND deploying sufficient activity on both (or more) of them already ARE rare, and will remain so in 2007, 2008 and 2027. 3. Social softwares that only facilitate having some kind of trvial fun are transitory as per definition, and probably WILL have a short life cycle. 4. LinkedIN is NOT a network. It's a directory of people who are open for job offers, and for recruiters. 5. Good to know that knowing ME didn't stop you from canceling your openBC membership. I'll remember that one. 1.

Voorzitter IPAN voorspelt einde Hyves? Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten, voorzitter van de IPAN, voorspelt het einde aan de populariteit van social networking sites zoals Hyves. De interesse in het “najagen” van vele vrienden zal dratisch afnemen. Op zijn persoonlijke blog schrijft hij: “I would have considered deleting my Hyves account but I know the founders and it feels a bit condescending to delete my account there. But even if I wanted to opt-out I can’t, they don’t offer a way to delete accounts. So here is my bet: in 2007 most people will start feeling the same about Social Networking. The thrill of collecting new contacts will have faded. Most people that want to be connected will be connected and people will start concentrating on one Social Network that actually helps them in some way.” [...] [...] Op Marketingfacts haalt Jeroen Bertrams een opmerking aan van Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten, voorzitter van de IPAN.
