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

SOCIAL NETWORKS WILL CONTINUE TO GROW
THESE ONLINE COMMUNITIES ARE AGGREGATING
AND ALSO FRAGMENTING AROUND INTERESTS
THEY ARE LIKE “WALLED GARDENS” (FOR NOW)
