Jump on the ‘social media’ bandwagon
This illustration above has proved to be so popular I thought I would stick it here on my blog as well as my Flickr. The original article is still on the Kyan media Blog. It’s here below for your convience:
‘Social media’ is the new buzz term. Everybody’s doing it, and why? Because it can generate masses amount of traffic to your website, which can easily turn into revenue. It’s really what ‘web 2.0’ is all about.
So, what exactly is social media?
Well, its all about non-passive user participation. Getting users to interact with websites by building online communities which generate content in the form of blogging, comments, images, audio and video. Users rate content and the more popular your content, the more traffic generated, which can snowball.
Social media isn’t just the latest fad. It will eventually integrate its way into every aspect of our online and offline lives. Facebook already has well over 100 million active users worldwide and its still growing rapidly, and that’s the best reason to create a Facebook app you’ll ever have. We have only just started to explore the possibilities.
