“People only trust their friends. So you’ve got to create friends in order for them to bring in new friends.
So stop talking about your social network marketing plans, how you’re going to spread the word via the millions posting updates and pics about their lives. Think about building a fire that will draw people to you! Embody trust. And quality. It’s a brand new world.”

That’s an unique post, I really think that social platformsnetworking type of websites are going to be taking a huge gain in 2010. I really think that we are only in the starting stages of social networking and we can see that with applications like 4Square, it’s only a matter of time until all things are working together at an even higher level. I’m can’t wait and am excited for this year, it’s gonna be a big year in social networking. Hope you agree!
Thanks for your comment Fredrick. I’m definitely looking forward to the integration and collaboration of different social network platforms. I am very curious where this wil go in 2010. As you mention 4Square, it is to be seen what will be the effect of mobile on social networking. This is in fact the place where online and offline networking will come together. Here in Belgium the adoption of mobile internet and smartphones is rather slow. Location based apps like 4Square and Gowalla are really for the very early adopters. To be honest, at this point I don’t see the point for myself and I don’t use it (I still like my privacy to don’t share where I am all the time).
But the future looks bright
