Trends in Social Networking Sites

Fred Stutzman is researching social networking and finding some very interesting things. In Social Networking: Five Sites You Need to Know, he covers some of the less well-known social networking sites with more global reach, and expands on three of the main trends he's seeing:

• "Social networking is becoming content-centric.
  
• Social networking is the vanguard of micropayment.
  
• Social networking for the sake of social networking just doesn't cut it."
