Regarding the Pope

This post is a response to http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/myspace_now_syncs_status_updates_with_twitter.php

If you have been near an electronic devise in the last few years, you have probably seen how social media is becoming a major part of life. You can tweet from your TV, phones have access to youtube, and my toaster has more friends that I do on Facebook.

Now MySpace, the former king of social networks, is syncing Twitter updates to be displayed on TheirSpace. What could once be seen as a competing service are now accepting the fact that they are complimentary services, and together they can better serve a user. If you look to the right of my blog, you will see that I have my tweets streaming. Twitter is the current wave of the future, and MySpace was smart to latch on.

I believe that in the future, all of our favorite communities will be connected with a nice interface allowing users to update everything at once. At this point, however, people will not spend all their time on social networking sites. People will no longer be addicted to Facebook or MySpace or whatever the next generation is. People will be tired of constantly interrupting their lives to explain what is going on in their lives. Celebrities will give up on Twitter, at least personally, and a large part of users will migrate away. Instead, social media will likely be an open-source search engine. Need some info on a friend? Look it up. Same with info. Someone will have written about it sometime.
