2013年值得關注的七大社交網絡

明日之星

????2010年12月，一個尚且鮮為人知、提供各種古怪、復古的濾鏡的照片分享應用宣布迎來了自己的第一百萬名用戶。如今，兩年時間過去了，當時還默默無聞的Instagram已經成為了一個社交媒體巨人，用戶群已經超過1億人。每秒鐘都有約58張照片上傳到Instagram上。

????盡管Instagram的增長與Facebook的收購有很大關系，但現實情況是，在僅僅幾個月之內，預計還會涌現出新的社交媒體領袖。那么2013年的社交媒體業(yè)會呈現什么樣的景象呢？我們提前來預測一下。

????盡管這些社交媒體平臺非常多樣化，但目前它們都在把社交網絡推向更深、更專門的方向，其中既有像Medium一樣注重思考性的平臺，也有像Pheed一樣的娛樂性平臺。2013年，Facebook仍將是社交媒體業(yè)的霸主，Twitter將會繼續(xù)繁榮，Google+也會積累大量用戶。不過在這些全能型社交網絡的陰影之下，還有些專門型社交網站也正在迅速發(fā)展。

The next big thing -- maybe

????In December 2010, a little-known app for sharing photos with funky, retro filters announced it had signed up its millionth user. Fast forward two years, and Instagram is a social media titan, with more than 100 million users. Some 58 photos are uploaded to the service every second.

????While Facebook's acquisition had a lot to do with Instagram's growth, the reality is that new social media leaders are now emerging in a matter of months, not years. So what does 2013 hold for the social media landscape? Here's a look into the crystal ball.

????As diverse as these platforms are, they are all taking social networking into deeper, more focused directions: from cerebral platforms like Medium to entertainment-based networks like Pheed. Facebook will continue to reign supreme in 2013, Twitter will thrive and Google+ will accrue critical mass. But in the shadow of these all-purpose social networks, some truly exciting specializations are underway.
