Ever so Changing market

AIM lol remember this?

When being an internet marketer, it's not good enough to be comfortable with what is currently available to us. I feel that social networking, and the internet in general is far from its peak.  More people would be even more reliant on these services as the internet evolves.  As the article, "3 Ways to Stop Wasting Time on Social Media" stated, "Since social media managers now have to do more with either the same or fewer resources, they have to create efficiencies in their current processes."   In the globally competitive internet industry, if we marketers or social media managers don’t follow these trends, we won’t be able to keep up with the upcoming consumer demands.   

all i see on twitter

My point is that when a person is typically on the internet, they can experience the changes or the internet at their own pace.  When you’re a marketer, you don’t get that luxury.  You need to be as versatile as the internet.  Up to date on the current media outlets and opportunities the internet provides for you.  For the longest time, I always held off on joining Twitter.  It’s not because I didn’t know what it was, but it was more of the fact that Twitter isn’t the way I wanted to present myself.  It came of as an attention seeking outlet so I never bothered.  If you want a better idea of how i felt, click the link below.  Sure that was ignorant and bias of me to assume but the point is that I left out a potential market as a marketing major because of my own personal feeling towards a matter.  While I sat there disinterested in the service, it has become such a large phenomenon that companies find it hard not to utilize.  Sure, I still feel like the majority of Twitter is people spouting whatever’s in their brain #noOneCares but part of the job is to be open to whatever.  It’s an occupational hazard.
