A new networking site also brings you the feature of a search engine and freelancing. The reason it works so well is that it consists of professionals and experts. If used wisely it can give a much needed boost to your company and even provide you with part time and full time freelancing jobs.

…(OK my last post for now) I guarantee that you will see more and more businesses getting involved, and soon Social Networking sites will grow in importance for businesses, and just as Web 1.0 was a dominant force for business in the transaction of goods and information, Web 3.0 will play just as vital a role in the future, with innovation and collaboration in the driving seat. (OK I’m done, sorry to have gone on for so long!)

…on your account, just as you are not forced to purchase every item you see advertised at a bus shelter, in a newspaper or magazine, or in a store. You have the power to act upon the advertising. Ignore it, find out more, or purchase it. Simple!

…ignoring the fact that someone/thing is making your life a site easier.

Think of a supermarket with all of its products simply just dumped into one giant bin in the ground, and each time you wanted something, you were to climb in there to look for something, and simply hope to find it. It would be useless, and frustrating to say the least. Nowadays – agreed somewhat – we are targeted each and every time that we login to one of these sites, but you are not forced to buy what you see…

Katalinfenyo, you …
Katalinfenyo, you can’t be serious, surely?

Social Networking Sites are probably the next big thing, and are going to dominate Web 3.0. They make, and will continue to make, our lives easier. The books, the music, the events, the news, the silly videos, and whatever else I’ve digested over these last two years or so, has largely came my way through these type of sites.

I think I know what you mean about the targeting, but why on earth would you like walk around with your head in the ground…

katalinfenyo said in March 24th, 2010 at 10:35 am

Sometimes I feel …
Sometimes I feel all the targeting a bit suffocating and patronising…

Please let me bump into things I haven’t thought about, and let me read stuff that happens in other parts of the world – don’t force me into things I already know of, have seen, etc.

Excellent video. By the way, I’m not sure how other people feel about targeted advertising, but it really doesn’t bother me. I would much rather get ads that interest me than the usual date sight ads and such.
