Schoolchildren and students spend their free time on VKontakte, older people are nostalgic for their school days and flirt with former classmates in Classmates, and also have their own cozy LiveJournals in which they discuss a variety of topics: from feeding hamsters to the fate of the Universe. Today, it is safe to say that social networks have become an important element of leisure and ... an inexhaustible market for suppliers of goods and services. The leading social networks have an audience of tens of millions of users. Not even the largest city on Earth can boast of such a population. But each of the residents of such a virtual city needs to buy something: someone needs pizza for dinner, someone needs a new computer, and someone needs a smart book to read before going to bed. Users communicate using phrases used in communication, posted videos and photos, and it's easier to understand exactly what a person needs right now. Today, social media projects are divided into four main categories:

1) the actual social networks such as the same Classmates or overseas Facebook.
2) Social interaction media projects: wiki resources are knowledge bases filled in by users themselves (Wikipedia), blogging services (LiveJournal, WordPress, Twitter), instant messaging and joint work on documents, like Google Docs.
3) Social publishing projects: where something can be shared with the general public. These are the YouTube video sharing service, the Russian RuTube; the Flickr photo library and Samizdat, where Russian-speaking writers post their books.
4) feedback projects — such services assume the possibility of receiving feedback on each posted material. Digg is an example.

Already, every social media project has features of various categories in one way or another. In the future, social media will become more universal and more closely integrated with business applications. You wrote to a friend that you would like to play a new game and crunch chips, and an offer to buy a disc and chips with delivery in half an hour in your city immediately fell out from the side! Somewhere like that.

Fewer beeches means more pictures!

The fourth techno breakthrough-2011 — video! It would seem that there is nothing new in video, but today print text remains the main way for users to communicate on the Internet, despite the fact that almost everyone has a webcam. Until recently, many people had insufficient Internet speed and traffic to communicate mainly in video mode.
