[...] One intriguing trend shown in the graph, is the apparent limit reached when 50% of the population is on Facebook. Perhaps once more people are on the network than not on it, the perceived value decreases. It seems we have reached the peak of the Mainstream Adoption Curve. [...]
Similar to what Carlos said, but I think all “good” things peak during novelty then slide to a level of at least reality. Look at computers: IBM at the top many years, slid down…grabbed by MS…MS peaked…slid down… May we say similar of GoOgle? Someday Twitter? They’ll slide back down to the “real-world” level of usage/interest they deserve after the initial peak of novelty and interest due to unfamiliarity.
Very funny and true. When my mum sends me a tweet, I know it is time to move on to something else.
Well, Google?
I don’t think that will peak and decline, it isn’t so much that people are interested in it because it’s a novel idea as much as…well it’s just a powerful tool that is useful to anyone.
Both “I love being part of this” and “please stop the madness” are represented by the Y axis which would more accurately be “level of pleasure”, the X axis is mislabeled and shows “time.”
Love it!
I’m excited for the launch of Google Wave. I think it may solve the “OMG Mom is tweeting me” problem.
Seems that everyone in the office is using Facebook. But one news said that employers are now more active in detecting the activities of their employees. One of this is checking out the updates of employees in Facebook. We know that it is easy to determine our workers who use their working times browsing popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
