We have explored some of the original social media, such as SixDegrees, AIM and Facebook. However, while they seem like timeless social media, they are not necessarily going to be there until the end of time. Many social media have already shut down due to inactivity and declining usage rates. As more and more social media appear, the race to have the next hot and innovative idea heats up. An example of a social media gone wrong is Vine.
Vine's Time to Go
Vine was a modern social media that let you create videos that were 6 seconds or less and share them with friends. While it was initially a hot idea, its idea was stolen by Instagram and Snapchat. As a result, Vine stars fled to these websites, along with Youtube. Managerial issues also occurred, all of which led to Vine's demise.
Now that Vine is dead, the question is what next? Many people are predicting Twitter is the next social media that will go, due to a lack of new features. Thinking about this myself, I have also noticed that a lot of other social media are constantly adding new features, some of which are unnecessary, but Twitter is trailing in that area. Is Twitter the one to go next? Time will tell.
Stay connected~
