Web 2.0 growth engines: Blogs, Social Networks, Local Info ...


Just got to see some interesting data on internet usage. Shows a shift
in growth. a.k.a eyballs and usage of sites.

The big daddy's are either stagnating or on slow growth mode. Its the newbies which are exploding... reaching beyond the stars. Only Google seems to able to hold on to own in terms of visitors.

Cut to a decade or so back. When the internet emerged with a promise. That of infinte possibilties of participation and empowering people to communicate and air their opinions.

That promise is only getting more powerful now with spaces like blogs ...

This is from a recent online-traffic analysis provided by market research firm ComScore Media Metrix, which examined visitor growth rates among the 50 top Web sites over the past year.

please to note that over very own blogger rocks with triple digit growth...for me..i have my set of fave blogs which i check out every single day.
i guess this is part of the customised media experience that each one of us are creating for ourselves...wherein each one of us become a market in our own right...

bang on... personal and experiential media consumption. led by choice.

probably driven by our fundemental quest for identity.

by the way, any reason why you've not tagged or claimed this blog on technorati? Increases chances of others to discover...

Ajit,

We are sometimes technically challenged. Therefore after some 13 years in technology I am yet to figure out most of the cool stuff available on the net to use. Technorati being one of them, tagging another.

Juno has given me hope, the TNT thingie that I spoke about in one of my earlier comments uses : "this is part of the customised media experience that each one of us are creating for ourselves...wherein each one of us become a market in our own right"

The identification and automation of communication mediums where one can target advertising based on personal choices is where the battle lies.

kewl. happens all the time. i suggest we move into the technorati space...

what about tracking? page views, visits etc on the blog? using urchin or something else?

if not lets log it into to google analytics ...

let me know if you need any help cheers!
