Social timeline, the next generation of social media
Plurk is a social network service that provides the specific timeline of a user’s recent activities. The bar shape UI was designed to suit the function. The service generates spontaneous interaction between users, which is a new-market disruptor that evolved from micro blogs, such as Twitter.
Soon enough, Lifeblob, another social network service, takes social timelines to next level. With the service, users can easily patch together a visual representation of their recent interesting things and memorable moments. Users can use the special feature of the service to enrich those timelines with photos, text or videos. The
The end result can easily be shared on a variety of social services, or embedded into any blog or web page.
The service not only provides a more complete social timeline functions, but also provides a potential marketing vehicle. Marketers have a new marketing tool, but it also means that it’s getting harder to attract consumers’ attention. The information flood would be even more severe.

I start to use Plurk recently. I like the design of timeline.

I have yet understand what really makes a social networking site successful–what differentiates them for other sites, what this site has to offer, etc. There are so many social networking sites out there that offer the same things… such as embedding, streaming timelines via microblogging, and connecting with the use of applications.
Moving forward, I think niche social networking will be the new bandwagon. People will have to rely on different social networks to manage different relationships and interests.
