Social Networking will play the most important role in the online habits of young people in 2008 and beyond.

YOUTH DON’T NEED ANOTHER WEBSITE. They need content and applications delivered to them, to make their digital space their own.

WIDGETSStreaming audio, video and imagery into social network sites, with branded skins

and embedded ads

PEOPLE WANT TO CONTROL THEIR ONLINE EXPERIENCE

SOCIAL NETWORKS WILL CONTINUE TO GROW

THESE ONLINE COMMUNITIES ARE AGGREGATING

AND ALSO FRAGMENTING AROUND INTERESTS

THEY ARE LIKE “WALLED GARDENS” (FOR NOW)
