Social media 4.0??

Did you still have your Friendster account? And did you still remember the password?
Im not. I've deleted my account because its too complicated to have many social media accounts. YM, Facebook, Twitter and Blogger. Many accounts with many passwords?? Yikes! 
And now, there comes a new social media machine!
Friendster became the first social media that came up around 2006. At first, it only connect people with text. Then, came Facebook with picture upload, share and tagging feature. Facebook also combine between realtime text and regular text, like Instant Messaging (chat) and text (wall). 
Pictures, walls, chat, comments, events, ads and solala solala are those you'll see in Facebook. Dont want to be bothered with that, just move to Twitter. Compact and worldwide connected social media is the simplest way to enjoy it.
The best thing for Twittter is that you can follow your idols without have to become his/her friend (like in Facebook). But Facebook is also dont want to loose its customer, by create the "like" button, you will also automatically recieve newsfeed from person you like. Dont forget also the "mention" technology in Facebook.
Now Facebook has an opponents, Google+.
Honestly that I have no idea what is Google+. some info said that its not yet being public, you must wait for the invitation from it. We should wait longer :p

But Facebook is not yet to be done, because they will provide video chat and conference chat for its customers.
Sorry, but the news is in Indonesian.

I think the real contender for Facebook is Instagram.
If in Twitter you share words, in Instagram you share photos.
The first story is Instagram was made specially for iPhone! Now it expanded to many OS. Here is some info about Instagram :)

Social media 4.0? 
Bet ya do! 
I think since a year ago, people in Indonesia (specifically) is mad about photography hobby. And this people-SLR-armed is just not produce family portrait. 
Kind of sephia, artistic pictures and solala.
Instagram is now available for iOS, Android, Blackberry, MAC, Web, Windows and Symbian :p
Sometimes i share photos in Facebook or by email. I also has many many photo collections. But just put it in my 1tb hard disk is useless. I'd love to share them.
Well, now im confirmed that I want to have an Instagram account immediately!
