You know social media is growing when the following happens:
- You get asked by a friends to help them setup their Facebook and MySpace accounts.
- Someone sends you an sms at 11pm asking what a blog is.
- When the person you least expect to see ever again in your life invites you on Facebook.
- A big corporate company realises it’s a key element for its online offerings.
- A large publication takes advantage of its viral potential.
Social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace are fast becoming popular with teenagers in South Africa. The market isn’t here right now, it is on the way.
