Any predictions on the demographic trends for social media sites – facebook, twitter, myspace, etc.? As I’m new to twitter, some of my facebook friends call it as the place for people with limited attention spans since the updates are so frequent. I’m wondering if twitter will have it’s nitch while a portion of people stay on more static social media sites like the facebook and myspace.

And the bigger question…how many active memberships does the average person have to these sites? Does joe blow maintain 4 active memberships to facebook, friendster, twitter, and yelp? Or do most people stick with only one social media site and if they explore outside of that their profiles are nominal at best? Curious.

@ Rolv-

I’d have to agree with you 100% and surprised I didnt touch on it in the post.

Local search has continued to grow and grow and wont be going anywhere and only increased popularity and demand amongst small business and im sure engines and websites will continue to build technology to target more locally.

Although I am somewhat biased, I believe “local search” will be a major continuing trend

Companies seem to ignore the single largest online advertising venue available: their own regular external emails. Why not use these emails to market the senders company?

You have a website.
You send emails.

Why not multiply your sales-staff by “wrapping” the regular email in an interactive letterhead?

No other marketing or advertising medium is as targeted as an email between people that know each other (as opposed to mass emails). These emails are always read and typically kept.

WrapMail offers a solution that is server-based (i.e. compatible with all email clients), has a complete back-office with a WrapMaker, reporting etc and only charge $5 per user per month.
