Being unique

I have been thinking of the social networking sites that exist. I must confess I love face book: it’s fun, user friendly, quick and easy to learn the functionality, gives you the option of selecting what you want, kids use it even my grandpa am sure he can learn how to use if he was technologically advantaged.

Many other social networking sites have come up since and many try to work on the same principle, on the move status updates, connecting with people and many more. But none really works for me like face book does and many of my friends seem to concur with me. I have a twitter account, which I update here and there, I don’t see anything quite spectacular about it, there is also an official in the office communication group, it is a good way of getting to know what people are working on and also sharing information but not many people use it and also being an official communicating tool and the cordial relationship that we want to maintain and also the fact that it limits one’s imagination on their extent of sharing information, makes it a bit restrictive. Needless to say am sure there are people who like other tools as much as I like face book.

Many other social networking sites are being invented but I think there needs to be something different and something special about them. Any innovator should try and see what is unique to their product and capitalize on it, I was told in my research class that there is nothing new that my future (few months to come) research work will uncover since most of the research has already been done and what I should try and do is look for where the gaps are to fill them, while this might be true, I also think that there could be something new for me to unearth, I mean we are all unique creatures, the brains that invented something years ago are not mine so I can still do something new. The most successful companies I know have made a niche in the market, what yours? what’s mine?
