"I believe I saw a giraffe"

What I write here is read "I believe I saw (a) giraffe". This is to imitate an ancient Egyptian language "Hieroglyphics" (3200 BC - AD 400), which pictures were used to represent sounds. Communication is a basic need for human being. Now, it's time for the 21th Century communication, it's time for Social Networking! - Thinnakorn

The Future of Social Networking



Do you wonder how social networking will look like in the future? FaceBook, Youtube, Blog or Twitter may be completely replaced with other social networking tools. Syracuse Blackboard may be only history of this development. Or, the change may not be too much from now! From the article of Craig Schmugar Future social networking sites will become more important because platforms will expand further. “Killer apps” will include mobility, presence, and location awareness, with the goal of making your physical life more convenient through your virtual network; you’ll have a traveling social network in your back pocket. Not only will you be able to know which of the friends in your network is online, but you’ll also be able to know which are nearby. Cell tower triangulation and global positioning systems will be able to pass along your location to whomever you allow. Location-aware services could match local businesses and entertainment to your interests based on your profile. Business travelers could more easily rendezvous with coworkers and clients at conferences and trade shows. The thrill of online dating could be heightened through the creation of location-specific communities, so you wouldn’t only meet someone online, but you could also chat with a prospective mate in the same room. Social sites will also be smarter, mining user information across the web. Social bookmarking site functionality such as Digg will be married with social networks and enhanced with self-learning technology such as Pandora or StumbleUpon and tagging functionality such as Flickr. The result is a more constant and refined stream of relevant information, which actually educates and informs the community in a much more efficient manner than occurs today.

    I find this new development to be very troubling. The thought that someone could essentially track me down and follow me is frightening to contemplate.

    It's true April! There are pros and cons of Social Networking. Being tracked by someone seems to be frightening but how about tracking a small kid by his parent? It's not what or whom you know... it's who know you that make it dangerous...!

    most likely as information becomes more open there will be new forms of regulation. right now things are very disorganized as social networks do not really allow for a lot of privacy. in the future that should be fixed.

    Social Networks are now becoming eaier to access and retrieve information. Pivacy concern is a big issue for Social Networks security right now. It's us who shall be wise when involving in Social Network.

    I agree with April- even the simple functions on social networks now where you can "check in" from somewhere and post your location to the world seems unsafe to me. Thinnakorn, you do have a point about small children- I never thought of that.

    Leigh... Thank you for your comment! When our location can be detected, it's important to know who can access to that information!

    Because social networking is about people. The bad impact of it that tend to be increasing is really caused by guys. Indeed, social networking tools are very useful to help our lives more comfortable. But some of us bring them to use for the wrong ways to get only their benefits, so social network in the future tends to be more problems if it is still lack of security.

    This is a very interesting, but scary development in technology. I wonder if this is something that people could somehow opt themselves out of. For instance, like with the phonebook you can opt out of having your name in it. This way families with children or families who are well-known in the community can choose whether or not they want their information displayed like shown above.

    Nattee...
    Its very true... it's about people, not the tools. How people manipulate social networkings that counts!

    Angela.. It seems to be scary but we can't escape this development. It's our responsibility to be careful when the new technology comes. Thank you for your comment!
