Maybe there will be a slowdown in a few apps like MySpace and maybe twitter but at the same time, I think it will grow into new areas. A question I like to ask myself is what social things do people like to do when they are together? Social gaming will be the new trend I think the booms in social media will be in the technologies that brings any of these “real life” experiences and feelings to geographically dispersed groups of people.
