With the New Year well under way, we are seeing some major changes in how we find and interact with information. Social media has made sharing websites so easy, and as such, one of the market leaders, Facebook is now becoming the internets top source of traffic.
For anyone that has been hiding under a stone for the past decade, Facebook is a global social networking site that allows users to interact with their friends.
According to Web measurement firm Compete Inc., Facebook has passed search-engine giant Google to become the top source for traffic to major portals like Yahoo and MSN, and is among the leaders for other types of sites.
This trend is shifting the way Web site operators approach online marketing, even as Google takes steps to move into the social-media world.
Some experts say social media could become the Internets next search engine.
With bookmarking websites such as Digg and Reddit, people are spending less time navigating the internet, and basing their choices upon friends recommendations.
I believe Google is here to stay, but were starting to see the beginning of big changes within the social networking industry, and Facebook will defiantly disrupt Googles plans.
If you havent already, you should defiantly sign your business up to websites such as Twitter and Facebook, and get to grips before the big changes start to happen!
