While reading Connor Wilson’s on over optimistic CEO I began to think more and more about the entire social networking industry (if you can even call it that). As he mentioned in his post, snap chat- this massive social network, isn’t even profitable. I always wondered how these massive corporations like Facebook and Twitter are able to create revenue. I’ve heard it thousands of times “it’s from the adds” but this all seems very questionable to me. Perhaps I just simply don’t understand this marketing strategy, but I have never once paid attention to an add on the side of Facebook. Especially with the amount of spam that can be found on the internet today, I can’t see how an add on the side of a website can be effective. I feel like all these companies just saw the amount of people using these social networking sites and assumed that where there’s people, there’s money. Not necessarily realizing why people go to these sights in the first place- to interact.
