“Social Networking Penetration
With Teens Close To 100%”
Ad Age 2007

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.

Streaming audio, video and imagery into
social network sites, with branded skins
and embedded ads

“A Newsweek article famously asked if 2007
would be the ‘Year of the Widget’, but 2008
will be the year this question gets answered”
eMarketer 2008

what matters?

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”
Content will increasingly be spread virally within
