"Early Adopters" are Migrating from Social Networks to Cool Websites, Hitwise's Bill Tancer

What's the next big thing in new media?To answer that question, I turned to Bill Tancer, author of of Click and the research guru at online audience measurement firm Hitwise.

Tancer shared some exclusive insight for New Media Minute viewers into where the online trendsetters who made Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr popular way back when are now hanging out on the Web.

Essentially, they are moving away from crowd sourced content to curated content. Some of their favorite hot spots online are 5Min.com, OVGuide, and VideoJug.com.

Thanks for the info! I don't find this particularly surprising, not just trendsetters, but the majority of people who have been online for a while do want to communicate and engage at a higher level and generic social networking sites like Facebook can't offer that.

I have read the article which deals with the Migration of visitors from Social Networks to the cool and interactive websites.I don't know the exact main news why migration is there in big amount.It might be the problem in traffic of certain sites.

None of your video ever seems to work, you need to fix that.
