What will replace Facebook and Twitter?

loveacca

When we all get bored with talking to zombies on line and when we have networked/'friended' ourselves fully what will happen then?

Any ideas on what the next big thing is and maybe we could make a fortune if we can get it started here on boards.ie

Blondini

We will all live as one and hurl the little streets upon the great...
Society will be born again ...
Sisters ... Brothers ...

Can't wait.

Meh. Might try a telescope and spy on my neighbours whilst their on facebook and twitter

The obvious successor will be a new site called twatbook.

Pauleta

I think it will be something similar to that new GPS thing on facebook. It will be a stalkers dream.

hondasam

Time Travel and we can all meet up and chat.

Canis Lupus

I don't really see anything eclipsing Facebook. It's the iphone/ipod of social media really and I don't particularly have a problem with that.

In this great future Facebook and twitter will be gone, you might be lucky and catch the neighbours copulating as they will have nothing else to do.

Is more sex awaiting us in the future?

There probably wont be a replacement for Facebook any time in the foreseeable future. It's like Google. It'll only change, not fade into obscurity like MySpace or Bebo.

This on a loop. Endlessly funny

I think it'll be an odourless gas we spray into our nostrils that lets us read the thoughts of people on our acquaintanceamygdala.

Incidentally if someone has venture capital here, I've got a nasal spray and a few terrible ideas.

I remember everyone on Bebo, and very, very few "friends" of mine had a facebook acc.

I think what happens is, as the younger generation (you will know if you are not in this group as you cannot actually decipher their language) hit facebook en mass, the older generation will make the next multi millionaire site a reality.

It will happen.

Goodbye, Twitter and Facebook, hello, faceless twits.

starlit

Touch screen converstation as in like digitalised and projected on a wall. Similar to that of a video conveference and touch screen mobile phone... Like that mcdonalds add with the digitalisation of reality at a touch of your fingertips...:cool:

Craebear

They will merge to become twatbook.

BBDBB

We will all have our own TV channel on You Tube

I'll be bringing you the news at 9, followed by the weather and then a 4 hour special on how much I hate gardening

Sanjuro

What is going on in this thread? An attempt on the record for the amount of times the word 'twat' can be used as a joke?

Asphyxia

I can't really see Facebook being replaced but then again I thought I'd always love bebo.

Twitter is very much an information feed. Like those old stock market ticker tape machines of the past.

Face book is the current stupid share your life with people thing that could possibly be replaced by a more narcissist thing.

Hardy bucks had Bebo well sussed A Place to meet all the people you wouldn't talk to in school.

I honestly think that however bad facebook is, twitter is completely pointless as:

Facebook allows status updates which are the same thing as tweets, but not limited to a set number of characters (150?)

Almost everyone who is on twitter is on facebook, but not vice versa.

Does anyone actually use Bebo or Myspace anymore?

It always advertised on the sites I visit

A very small amount of people, bebo nearly went there last year but someone new took it over. (and that was after AOL bought it for $800m :rolleyes: )

I remember seeing the fella that created it on the late late show last year,and he even said no one uses it anymore.

How did people stay in touch before social media/mobile phones? We would be totally bollixed without it

Is there something out there which is the next step on keeping in contact, probably something that you stick in your head and makes you telepathic

chillywilly

hopefully when they will be replaced by actual interaction and communication between real friends.

sarahisainmdom

My new website, once I invent it.... :pac:

Hopefully Facebook will come to it's end, I'm not a huge fan of it - well, I don't want to be... Chat is brutal - Skype is so much better. And the likes are so pointless! If you look at your homepage, about 10% of it will be what someone has actually written, rather that links and likes and more ways to waste your time. Deactivated my Facebook (temporarily) 33 days ago (yeah, I'm counting)... Now I just use Twitter more. I like Twitter but it makes me feel vain, I mean why would anyone care what I just ate for breakfast?

Why?

MASTER...of the bra

Google and Facebook are teaming up to buy Twitter and whoever owns this "Pocodot" site is doing a great job spamming Youtube videos trying to dethrone Facebook.

Personally, I noticed that my "real life" friendships were very diluted because of Facebook. For example, I would see someone who I hadn't seen in 2 years on the street and I wouldn't really care because I already knew that they had been to Australia, got back, got a car and got engaged. I have actually noticed that since I got off Facebook (about 3/4 months ago) that when I see people on nights out they are much more excited and interested to see and talk to me because they don't know what I've been up to and vice versa.

I've also noticed I'm focusing more on the things that I think are more important and more productive in my life. I just think it's a bit of a shame friends don't interact the same as they used to IMO. Each to their own though of course!

seanbmc

Other Social network sites such as Bebo didn't make it as big as Facebook has. With all it's financial backing I don't think it will ever die out. It will just continue to evolve and introduce new features over time as it gets bigger and bigger

Not sure about Twiter though, seems pretty limited.

Babestation will replace everything.

I suppose it would be down to how you use it then. For me the whole point of it (Twitter in particular) is keeping up with people who's opinions you find interesting, but may have never met in your life.

Ye it really does come down to how you use it. It makes sense that you would follow someone whose opinion you want to hear (politician, footballer, or whatever) but when it comes to friends I believe it's important to engage in real face to face conversation as much as possible.

More shyte will replace the current shyte.

sarahisainmdom

The irony is these are called "social" networks.

KungPao

I don't get why people are so confident that Facebook will be forever popular. As the years pass I reckon kids and teenagers will just see Facebook as some old web site for old people...and thus will cease to be 'cool', and some other schite will come along for the kids, and the older people will have better things to do...and stop using facebook.

And remember when Yahoo! was the search engine of choice? or Geocities? or Kazaa, emule? Hotmail?

All pretty big sites and programs that have faded away.
