Creativity
plays an important
role in new media,
since users are
constantly looking for
something new and
exciting. People tend to get bored
easily, and when they
do , they look for something new
to occupy their
time. Social networking sites,
is a great
example of how
New Media fosters
creativity. I remembered
when Myspace used
to be a
very popular social
networking site, all
of my friends
had an account. After a
while Myspace lost its popularity,
and Facebook came
to replace. Facebook was
able to attract
millions of users,
due to its creative features,
and constant innovations. Facebook knew
that in order to
keep the millions
of users happy
it would have
to provide them
with the best creative
services possible.
Some sites
are using Facebook
success as a
way to become
more creative. According
to an article
from The New York Times, ‘’ Twitter Serves
Up Ideas From
Its Followers ‘’, Twitter
watches how people
use their services
and which ideas
catch on. Then its
engineers turn the
ideas into new
features on the
social networking sites.
Companies also monitor
Twitter to find
out what customers
like or dislike
about their products
and services, and they
use this information
to improve it.
In order to
gain an advantage you
will have to be
creative. More and
more companies are finding new
ways to stand
out from the rest and attract
potential users. Facebook has
defiantly made a
name for itself,
and proved to
the World, that
a small site
can expand into something
bigger, with the
help of a
creative mind.
