- We are witnessing a co-existence of global, local and niche based social networking platforms. Besides broadbased networks, categories such as professional, education, entertainment and games will emerge as strong growth drivers for the social media.
- The second aspect that emerged in 2008 was the fact that young users in the age group of 18 to 24 from tier II and tier III cities began to aggressively enrol into social networking platforms.
- The third key trend is an emergence of integration between social networking and casual gaming.We anticipate more and more users to consume casual games in a social networking context

Interesting facts, though the average time spent data will probably be true only till the medium matures.
New media always attracts more attention and time initially. And this medium plays on a basic human need of being social.
But social needs can be met by being in front of a screen or by meeting people in the real world. In the latter case, time spent on social media might suffer.
The true measure of social media will be realised probably a few years down the line once the medium has been tried, tested, and evaluated by all. Many might even get bored of it.
My gut feeling is that this medium is here to stay, but average time spent on it might reduce in a few years
Interesting points Ishwar another aspects of this is another post of mine which suggests that 30% of indians are bored of social networking http://ideasmarkit.blogspot.com/2008/11/research-synovate-on-social-networking.html
