subject: The Implications Of Social Networking With Facebook [print this page] Everyone is going ga-ga over Facebook and Twitter these days. Myspace has become one of those fads which usually last two-three years. It is trying to reinvent itself. Have you wondered what is going on with the older social networking websites like Friendster, Bebo, Hi5, Orkut, etc? You may have created an account on one of these sites many months back. The truth is, except Facebook and Twitter, the traffic on most of the other social networking sites is going downhill. Facebook is now number two in alexa internet rankings. Myspace has slipped from the top five. The others have slid a lot as well.
Yahoo has announced that it will enable Facebook connect through out Yahoo's main portal in the coming months. Now, Yahoo is/was one of the biggest socializing portals with email, chat, messenger and everything. Instead of developing a social network on Yahoo, they are giving away space to Facebook. Myspace has also announced that it will integrate Facebook connect so that myspace users can share myspace content like music videos on FB easily. Consider the fact that myspace and f'book were bitter rivals a few months back. Google is planning to include facebook pages and status updates in its search results, which means more organic traffic to FB. FB will continue to increase its dominance due to such steps being taken by the top websites. It may not be wrong and instead help users to maintain a common FB id which they can use on any website they want. In a way, it will be good because other sites will no longer have to create separate login registration. People will no longer have to register at every website. But imagine, that something goes wrong in FB. The Internet which we know will come to a standstill considering that all social networking will take place through Facebook. So everything has its pros and cons. What will happen in future? No one knows.
