What social media trends have you seen in 2010?

by dmcsorley on February 3, 2010

First, I would like to apologize for the delay in getting this blog posted. It has been a busy month already!

As we are now in February, what social media trends have you noticed from last month? I have noticed the amount of Twitter users has gone down since last year. Many friends that started using Twitter have now phased out or disappeared completely. I have noticed that many of the small businesses who started using Facebook Fan pages in 2009 have gone down, but some are still using Facebook fairly well. Also on LinkedIN over the past few weeks, there has been more spam through the groups and much more people trying to connect. While I am on that topic, one word of advice for people looking to connect on LinkedIn or Facebook, always make the message to somebody new personal. Don’t use the generic message on FB or LinkedIn. If I don’t know you and I get a generic message from you to connect, most likely I would not connect with you.

What trends have you noticed in January so far? I’d love to hear your feedback.

How often do you update your Facebook fan page? Some fan pages are updated on a daily basis and others on a weekly basis. I would love to hear how often you update your FB fan page.
