The Future of Social Media
2

• Social media seems to have grown by leaps and
  bounds within the last few years. Businesses have
  found it hard to not have an online presence due
  to social media integration all over the
  internet. Liking a story on a random news site
  can mean it posts to your Facebook page or
  automatically shares itself on your Twitter
  account.

• The uses we have of social media seem almost
  endless. With this new age of social media
  discovery it is almost hard to imagine what could
  come next. For business this is an interesting
  area to explore. New social media sites mean new
  and exciting ways to meet people.

• A recent explosion in social media comes from
  the multi-billion dollar deal courtesy of
  Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg. Buying the
  instant messenger app WhatsApp for 19 Billion
  dollars earlier this year, it could be a sign of
  whats to come for social media. Instant
  messaging is a fairly old trend but has seen
  resurgence recently.

• Nearly 590 million registered users are
  flocking to WhatsApp in the United States alone.
  In a market saturated with businesses trying to
  get their word out in whatever way possible, the
  task of sifting through and finding the right
  business for your needs can become overwhelming.

• Businesses may find that they need to move to a
  more narrowed approach in order to get the most
  out of their marketing strategy. If this does
  happen, Facebook is once more on the ball when it
  comes to meeting the future head on.
• Another trend which might have an impact on the
  future of social media is simply by looking
  around. Images have become the trend.

7

• The internet is full of memes, gifs, and sites
  dedicated to make images pop. On the business
  side of things there is nothing bigger than the
  use of an infographic. These images display data
  in a new and provocative way which makes
  statistics and facts a little easier to digest
  and easier to remember in the future.

8

• According to The Hub Comms, our profile
  pictures on Facebook are now 170 larger than
  they once were. 27 million users are on the site
  Instagram. The sheer amount of ways to use images
  makes it harder and harder for businesses to
  avoid creating accounts on these sites and
  putting their images to good use.

• The future is uncertain. Everyone knows this
  fact and although it is unknown, it doesnt hurt
  to try and figure out what the future of social
  media is. Whether or not Facebook is on the right
  page with its investment in instant messaging is
  yet to be seen. There was a time when Facebook
  want a single word and Twitter was something a
  bird made. Tumblr was a typo and Instagram was
  some made up word.

• Soon enough they all became social media
  staples for business owners and entrepreneurs. It
  is a way to get your brand noticed and connect
  with customers on a more personal level. In
  months of years there will be another new word
  and new platform to share and connect on. Until
  then business owners and entrepreneurs can make
  guesses and follow trends for whatever comes next.
