Same here. Social media focuses on people which themselves are unpredictable and volatile. Looking in the past, there are a few good examples of how social media investors failed because of ever changing trends, despite the insane popularity of the services they invested in.
The bigger social media outlets are government funded. They already have their investors and are not a great investment for the public. They are basically companies that will always be in the negative no matter what you hear. They arent here to profit, they are here for "information".
To what social media are you referring to Jaydon? You're not mentioning Facebook that is for sure and it's the bigger social media. I am not saying FB isn't here for the information as well, also, they make money with everything.
Facebook is a world, it's the biggest virtual nation in the world I dare to say, they have millions and millions of users kept in ignorance of how FB really works, so it has everything to grow...
LOL, so that's a great way to grow and to make profit, to keep users in ignorance? As for Twitter, they should focus in what they are good at and to grow their user number based on that and not on copying FB.
It's sad, but it's just the way it is. If we were given the option would we choose to share all our comments with everyone? No, but in order for that not to happen we need to look for some options and disable it... Of course this promotes more friends and more people using FB.
I know what you mean, but Twitter has it's own advantages either, they can really make a topic come to public like happened recently with the kidnapping of the Nigerian girls, that would not have become known to the public if it wasn't for Twitter.
Yes, so that is where Twitter should focus itself, in attracting new users based on that strength that they indeed have instead of copying FB. If they manage to do that I am sure their value will go back up.
I don't like investing in companies like Twitter or Facebook. Sure, they're popular now, but so was Myspace...and do you remember how fast it tanked? I just know that social media is very volatile, you never know what will happen or how long they will be around. I prefer investing in companies that have been around for a long time, not that became popular practically overnight.
Exactly. I stay away from most of these type of sites and investments because many lack the fundamentals, will dry up when it is no longer "cool", or both. I grant, though I have zero interest in them, FB and Twitter is likely here to stay though.
