Digital Natives - Session 2 - Generic and Niche Social Platforms

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Generic social platforms, niche social platforms etc. What are they? Why do they attract so many people? And is social media marketing just hype, or is it something advertisers really should investigate? Do websites as we know them still make sense? And shouldn't all websites be able to filter content so that visitors only get what is relevant to them at the time?
