The first social network I used was the Yahoo Messenger chat room. In it, I met many friends from outside the country. I used to talk to them. We used to tell each other about ourselves and our country.
When I was just starting college, I told my teacher that the media was constantly evolving. That was the age of microblogging. Which was evolving from photo blogging to video blogging.
Blogs used to be very interesting at that time. WordPress was new. Who was offering free blog sites? Blogspot was its competitor.
I thought the best of them was 'High Five'. But that was ahead of time. The world was not ready for the High Five. In Western civilization, 'My Space One' was established as a veteran social network.
Who was producing new celebrities and empowering artists and rockstars? Because of the age of creative expression and writing, poets and writers considered themselves powerful when it came to expressing themselves on blogs.
In the blogs, people saw that their hidden talents were revealed. Facebook has been open to everyone since 2006. In a short time, Facebook attracted the attention of more than 100 million people from all over the world.
By now, it has left everything behind. Facebook was a platform for writing and discussing certain topics. Meanwhile, Facebook had also won the field of microblogging.
But the world was moving from letter to picture. Which was being established as another major change in the future. While the picture was being seen as another big revolution, microblogging was shifting to photo blogging.
This is something that Facebook felt a little slower than Instagram. By 2011, most of the photos uploaded to the Internet had been uploaded to Facebook.
Platforms such as Picasa were wiped out because of Google's desire to protect Google Photos. Five Hundred PX probably never reached this level. The art of photographers may have been confined to them. And the platform would lose its appeal.
Flickr was a real startup in 2004. Who also saw the future. But in 2005, technology giant Yahoo acquired it, embracing an innovation.
The future is bleak for Flickr. As Yahoo is a failed company in its own right, it also had a bad effect on Flickr. Even today, Flickr is being transferred from one to another.
Flickr is still alive today. But the main question is how long it will survive. In a world parallel to innovation, Instagram was also doing what the new generation wanted. He was doing a much better job than his potential competitors at the time.
In October 2010, Instagram went public with great fanfare. In just two months, it reached millions of users. There was no change in its speed.
Instagram embarked on a journey to overtake the world by carrying a different concept of microblogging and photo blogging. By that time, it was clear that human civilization had shifted from text blogging to photo blogging.
Facebook was also struggling to compete with modern platforms. But he was still not able. The reason was obvious.
Instagram, not Facebook, was engineered for photo blogging. But by then, Facebook had grown so large that it could have taken over Instagram instead of competing. Finally, in 2012, Facebook bought Instagram for billions of dollars.
In fact, it takes decades for things to change. But if you look at the schedule above, you will find the scenario completely different. The Internet has changed a lot. Its speed has increased hundreds of times more than before.
Which makes the experience of large multimedia easier and faster. Time was of the essence. Before the time was right, YouTube started streaming videos. YouTube was born on Valentine's Day 2005 as a video dating site.
Its tagline was 'Tune in, hook up'. As I said, it took a long time for people to realize that YouTube is a game. If they only started a decade later, they would be instantly popular.
But they started early. So the video dating platform failed. In 2006, less than 20 months after its launch, Google acquired YouTube for 1.65 billion.
Google and Facebook dominated for decades. When these two companies, unfortunately, moved forward in this way, the newly formed competing companies would not be able to grow and would have to be acquired.
By widely violating data analysis and privacy, these big companies could collect data and find out which app or website is moving forward in the immediate future. In this way, they would acquire it before they could compete with it.
But that was not all. The Eastern world started late. But there were some important possibilities compared to the West. The eastern world was isolated and had little influence from the west. There was a large population in the East to compete at the level of user numbers.
The American company Musically was acquired by the Chinese company Bite Dance. This established a balance of power in the West. Today's tick, or formerly musical, is now a great threat to the West.
Which includes all the youth of the world in the West. It has challenged the old social media Facebook, photo-blogging site Instagram, and video-sharing platform YouTube.
Now the East also has such a dangerous competitor that it is not afraid of the West. It has become so big that neither the West can take it, nor kill it.
Speaking of the East, the founders of the Telegram (formerly known as Mark Zuckerberg) are now on the verge of overtaking the Western giant WhatsApp through innovation. Telegram's servers are now more Tata than the hunter's eye of the West.
It allows up to two GB of file transfer from chat. There is no limit to how many files are sent and how many are saved. While Google is still in the dark ages (in Drive and Mail) with a combined limit of 15 GB.
Telegram is not competing in the messaging market right now, but in file sharing, file storage. He also has the most expressive emoji in the world, hands down emoji.
Something may be missing. But to a large extent, this is just a glimpse of how social media has evolved and is evolving.
If you recall, in the blogging industry, the prediction of which voice or voice is most likely to interfere was completely ignored. Some other things are also completely ignored here. That is sex.
Which is the subject of our basic human needs. But because of the busy routine, its lack strikes everyone. The new world is moving towards sound. Because it's the least intrusive type. Takes less time and does not violate your privacy.
Today's new world will digitally fulfill human needs and desires. Sex and shopping are important topics of interest to everyone. These three S's (sound, sex, and shopping) will soon be evolving into a huge industry.
But the third S, ie shopping, is out of our ambit for now. So today I am writing about how the shopping industry will grow tenfold in the future before it reaches its full potential.
By the time Alan Musk builds a rocket to Mars, Jeff Bezos will have built a money ladder to Mars. Bezos is on track to become the world's first trillionaire. Tinder was the leader of the West.
In 2017, Bumble also came into the landscape. The strong point of Bumble was to be the first female dating app when only people with strong arms appeared everywhere. Bumble gave women a lot of power and made the platform much safer and easier.
In just three years, it has become a strong competitor. Speaking of the Eastern world, Morocco came to the fore. Similarly, the Siberian region was flooded. All of these left a strong mark in their field.
All of this emerged only when Facebook Dating, which went public in 2018, gained momentum by exposing itself globally to a limited number of countries.
Because at that time, people misunderstood that people only date in certain places and arrange marriages in other places. This explains why Facebook is unable to innovate and steals and copies other people's ideas in the name of innovation.
What YouTube wanted to do on Valentine's Day 2005 was another big thing decades later. It revealed a bitter truth about innovation and entrepreneurship. Innovate whenever the time is right.
Neither sooner nor later. In fact, it tells the story of the success and failure of dozens of startups around the world today. The next S will probably be new. Which will soon come with a big bang.
That is, sound. MP3s have existed since I found out that there are songs on the internet. Voice also consumes very little data bandwidth. For decades, even on cheap internet, audio streaming was good. But now why did it come again?
In fact, people are becoming more and more aware of the importance of their time and give it the same importance know that time will never come back. But it is also one of the most neglected assets in our lives.
But fortunately, we understand that now and when we start to value time, all the games are changing. All you need is sound sense. Scrolling the news feed requires two senses to see and touch.
Social media has made it even worse through autoplay. Which also requires another listening sense. This is having a negative impact on our achievement times. It's all about time.
Something new comes and surpasses the world. So welcome to the world of sound. Where audio podcasts, group talks, chat rooms, and what notes are in the form of innovations.
Let's get acquainted with the clubhouse for a while. This is a new cool app. About which Alan Musk tweets as well as uses. Apple made the podcast popular, but it didn't spend much time on it and didn't prioritize live interactions.
The Clubhouse app focuses on live audio interactions and runs smoothly on your Apple device. I remember that one episode of South Park. Where children wanted to find some information on the Internet.
But in the end, others got to work. Because today's social media has been engineered in the same way. Which steals a lot of information from you and forces you to invest your time in meaningless clicks and scrolls.
Nowadays, such companies have a number of specialized departments that focus on hacking your brain to produce dopamine hormones. Yin separates our important things from us and fills our brains with unnecessary things.
Not only that, our habit of scrolling through unproductive things on social media has become so bad that today we depend on it for our next dose of dopamine. This has put us in such a vicious cycle.
By investing all our senses and engaging in social media in this way, nothing is left for us. Club House has provided a fresh insight into what the social media of the future should look like, leaving all the dark sides of the present social media.
It is enough to use only one sense ear. We can focus on content that we find meaningful and that we like.
As we begin to attach more importance to time, traditional media has given way to modern minimal social media like clubhouses. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. But for starters, the clubhouse will now lead.
