Getting Social on the Web

Recently The Philippines celebrated the 20th year of the internet in the Philippines, it has come a long way from the time internet was first introduced to us.  I remember those were the years of many changes, from analog to digital. Who would have imagined that nowadays even a phone and tablet can have access to those valuable information in just a click.



Most businesses these days must have one or more company websites of their own, to promote their goods, products and services.  It is estimated that people are more and more dependent on the net for information, from news media to traffic updates, how to's from DIY, to pastry and cooking and a whole lot more.

Social networking sites connects people who may not even know they each exist prior to being "friends" or "have following" in these social media sites.  Its like our ancestors will take multiple lifetimes to get to meet new people around the globe, but it now only takes a fraction of ones lifetime these days to connect and start communicating with a total stranger on the web.

Blogging, which I have used as a means to share my thoughts has evolved gradually from one concept to the others, some even has used blogging to catapult them to the business world and community.  Most web-based business has started out as a blog to share thoughts and ideas, share stories and even awesome places they have visited.

Now there's twitter, google+, free online selling websites, instagram, and one can easily create their own web pages and many more.  Its a limitless world of impossibilities and the future seems more exciting than ever before.

What would be the next revolution in this digital sphere of community building and in business.
