At the turn of the decade, Facebook and Twitter were the two giants in social media. The Trouble with Twitter.

My Twitter experience began over three years ago with an anonymous account. So I created a more professional Twitter account, with the intention of making a grand announcement one day. Gaining followers is much easier when you have your face as your avatar, and a descriptive Twitter bio. Guest post by Sanjiva Persad.

So when Google+ launched, I jumped in again but was, again, seriously unimpressed with the “me too” nature of trying to copy Facebook, Twitter, and Skype. So when Google announced a new product called “Google + Your World” and everyone started announcing the death of Facebook and Twitter, I was naturally skeptical.

It's not too long ago (okay, in social media terms, it was eons ago) that Flickr was one of the major social networks. But the rise of Instagram as a deft and light app that allowed seamless integration into sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and more made some wonder if there was a future for Flickr.

When we talk about social media platforms there is a tendency to point to Twitter and Facebook as the platforms where we all agree that we spend a majority of our time online. When we need photos we head over to Flickr. Twitter and Facebook are the dominant platforms in our lives and LinkedIn takes a backseat to those activities.

Twitter and Facebook both contain plenty of fake followers. Web Pro News states that more than 27% of the top ten Twitter accounts’ followers are fake. The question is how many of these bots are creating activity that appears to be real? So the real question is: Have fake sources been quoted for “ real news”?

The first question is ethical – if money and currency is about a show of worth, a menu of value, then yes, we can monetize conversations and activities. 20 million?
