Facebook is revamping its Web site with several new features that give users more information about their networks in real time. The changes have been widely compared to the updates people send and get via microblogging site Twitter, which Facebook apparently now views as one of its competitors. The new site allows friends’ posts to be streamed in real time. Changes you make are updated instantly on friends’ home pages as well, which are now called “profiles.” Other changes gives users more control over what they see.
Of course most social media, whether it's dealing directing with social networking or user generated content, will compete with the next best idea or concept (Twitter). Such a small idea has taken off and attached itself on almost everyone's phones, computer, laptops, etc. What everyone must keep in mind however, is what will keep generating and retaining the strongest user/member base? I recently found the social network, www.HopOnThis.com. They integrate a rewards program to keep members online and utilizing social networking functions. A prize closet is in place for members to exchange their points for cash, gift cards, and prizes. HoponThis, possibly the next best thing?

There is one social network specifically that needs to start gaining the recognition it deserves, www.HopOnThis.com.
