Sustainable social media
What in terms of ‘business’ is going on behind most of the social media applications? Nothing.
The applications are fun mostly but they exsist without a clear business model. They keep popping up in great numbers and it is not clear, with the most of them, where they are going and how they are planning to stay upright.
It’s like the Salvation Army kitchen. A lot of pots and pans controled by some amateur cooks with love for what they are doing. Of course there are some three star restaurants with the best chef, sous – chef and strategy too but those do not come in great numbers. Social media should become more sustainable is my opinion. Luckily more of us are feeling the same way.

What now? Social media?
Social media? How on earth am I going to explain that? What does it mean? A lot of people have tried to explain it already and a lot more will try to do the same. Not exactly knowing what to do with the subject. There are a lot of people who really do their best to explain it properly. Al you need is some imagination about your own target groups and there you go…
