So what is the hottest thing at the moment? To be more specific, what is the most used website, the newest application, the most searched out cyber place? I guess we can check off the social networking sites and music sites and email sites. This has become common knowledge in society and in business, that the strongest packs leading cyber world are the "social networking sites." But what the most interesting aspect about these sites is that they hold the launching pad to the freshest places- new sites. The site that can send you off to the newest, latest site is all the rage and it makes that connected site even better!
For example, you log on to your Facebook account and you automatically check your mail, chat to people, and read what people are posting. If a friend posts that they're digging the music from this up-and-coming DJ and they provide the link to the site, people are bound to check out what all the fuss is that this ONE person is announcing. Yes, this ONE person can cause a ripple effect in cyber world.
Twitter has actually cashed in on this concept and I think it's brilliant how natural it comes to us to click from site to site and feel the need to share with the world and know that we are making an impact. For those who enjoy making a ripple effect, think of the latest site you went on that if it wasn't for a recommendation you would have never have found it. I can think of a few.

So since we're on the topic, can you also think of the last piece of information you received that wasn't somehow linked to the internet? For instance, my friend just told me about this music artist he's been listening to lately and provided me with a link to listen to his music (Murs). A few years ago he would have handed me a CD to listen to it and for those that can think further back, the radio and records were the only way to keep up with the latest music.
Let's admit that most of us cannot live without the internet.
Now I propose we make this forum a two-way deal. You check out the sites I provided and I (plus whoever else would like to) will have a chance to bounce off to a few new sites you provide.
I invite you to share.

In my case I need to be "connected" to the internet most of the time, for me is a necessity to know what its going on in the world, like watching a movie, and I really don't want to miss anything...
Anyways here is a link to an archive of ads, you might like to see who won Gold there.

speaking of music, i decided that i don't want to pay 99cents for Pandora anymore so the site I recommend checking out is iheart radio-you can pick from 350+ radio stations and listen on your iphone, blackberry, or computer. Check it out http://www.iheartradio.com/national_radio_tuner/main.html
very well done, its so true almost everyone is connected through a social site. the first i can remember was friendster i think then myspace revolutionized it.
Appreciate your comments, good links too!
