Social Media Impact

One of the coolest parts of growing up in this era is the craze of social media, no doubt about it. It's new and that's what makes the impact that much cooler. People aren't really sure where or how far it will take us. It has so much potential.

That potential, unfortunately, has a cost. Facebook and soon Twitter have all undergone major changes throughout their history and a big reason for that is the amount of money they make. 

Twitter and Facebook are always trying to stay up to date and active with their users. But the marketing also has a say and some businesses think that will cost them. 

I personally don't think this is going to slow down social media marketing. Social media is a machine and people will see what they want to see regardless of what is attempting to get in their way. Sure, people will start geting annoyed when Twitter follows Facebook's route and starts trying to tell you what's most important to read, but I can't see it slowing down Twitter to be anything newsworthy. Twitter will listen to the people if it ever got to that point. At least I have to believe that. The article states that Google has already taken away privileges from its free users, and this could happen with Twitter. But at the same time, it's not going to slow down social media marketing. It's simply the way of the future. And people adapt, especially when it comes to social media and all the innovative creations though its powers.
