Rapidly Growing LBSNS (Location-Based Social Networking Service) Market Poised to Generate Substantial Revenue - openPR

In popular media, like the film The Social Network, Harvard is portrayed as a hub for networking. Students flock to career fairs to connect with top companies while fielding numerous LinkedIn requests from peers happily accepting them all in case we truly are speaking with the next Mark Zuckerburg.

But why are we so driven to make these social connections? What is the value of this hustle?

Networking is intrinsic to human biology. Evolutionarily, our primate ancestors began associating in groups of males and females for greater protection and safety in numbers. This social structure has prevailed across the evolutionary lineage, appearing in both primates and humans today.

From a neuropharmacological perspective, social connections cause our bodies to release oxytocin, the love hormone, which subsequently triggers the release of serotonin, the happy neurotransmitter. Together, these two substances reinforce social behaviors through our brains reward circuits.

Our acuity for complex social connections through networking stems partially from our ability to recognize and respond to emotions. Mirror neurons in the brain allow us to relate to the emotions of others by mirroring the physiological responses associated with them. This ability seems to provide the basis of empathy, which helps us build strong relationships and shmooze potential employers.

But, how do we decide which relationships we should make, and with whom? Social connections are most evolutionarily favorable when the benefits exceed the costs. Many animals including insects like ants, which dynamically organize themselves in living bridges weigh costs and benefits in deciding to act. For primates, often the benefit of social groups is protection, while the cost is competition for resources within the group.

But the cost-benefit analysis of Harvard networking seems to diverge from the animal kingdom, as luckily, many of our basic needs in both protection and resources are already met (there are plenty of FlyBy sandwiches to go around). We thus have the potential to make connections with anyone and everyone with little or no consequence; we are afforded the luxury to choose. Rather than networking for survival, we network for problem set buddies, friends in high places, and critical professional connections that can help us secure selective dream jobs and future plans.

This element of choice can lead to some negative consequences of social interactions.

Take for example imposter syndrome, the nagging perception of feeling undeserving. Harvards extremely low acceptance rate and the talented student body it recruits make students sometimes wonder: Why the heck am I here? or Do I belong in this social network?

Imposter syndrome can cause anxiety and stress, and subsequently decrease levels of good hormones, including testosterone, which may limit ones drive to take risks. Evolutionarily, this perception may have motivated us to strive towards perfection, but it comes at the cost of spiraling negativity.

While networking may help to combat imposter syndrome by finding social groups that we are comfortable with, it can also potentially exacerbate the feeling if our peers confirm our fears and dont include us in their networks.

The complexities of balancing the positives and negatives of social connections, as well as maintaining awareness of the potential pitfalls have led some scientists to try and determine a friendship limit. Perhaps the most famous of these is Dunbars number, which, based on the size of various primates neocortices (a part of the brain believed to be responsible for social relationships) and their group sizes, posits that humans can have a maximum of 150 meaningful social connections, with nesting circle sizes of 15 good friends and 500 acquaintances.

While this calculation is quite controversial, it nonetheless highlights the importance of making friendships of quality over quantity. It is important to be aware of your role in social situations and consider whether this role aligns with your core values.

Connecting with people is one of the great joys of living in a society. It has enabled us to achieve remarkable things, like entomologists collaborating to collect millions of insect specimens or engineers sending people to the moon. We are in a unique period of time where every person is a node in a truly interconnected network we are, in essence, an evolutionary masterpiece!

As my column comes to an end, Im grateful to have been part of your reading network over this semester. While I have examined empirical evidence behind Harvard culture and traditions, there is still much unknown about how we function in our daily lives, and much to question. I hope this column has encouraged you to continue to reflect on the how and why of our actions, and to stop and think about the beauty, and complexity, of the natural world around us!

Canadians spend more than two hours per day on social media platforms. Social media is becoming more prevalent every day, and influencers and those that want to be influencers are too.

Influencing is an all-new career option that, until recently, didnt exist. A social media influencer is someone who has established a reputation for being knowledgeable about a specific topic or industry and has an online following that they engage with.

Social media influencers build relationships with their followers through the content they share and interactions on live streams, comments and chats. This in turn builds a greater sense of community and ultimately gives influencers more influential power. However, the world of influencing is not always as honest and exciting as its cracked up to be.

As experts in social media and health outcomes, we recently examined the aspirations, desires and rationales of becoming a social media influencer among young adults. We asked 750 Canadians between 16-30 years old, who were mostly women, about their social media use and thoughts about social media influencers.

The results showed that 75 per cent of participants wanted to become social media influencers. The top three stated reasons for wanting to become social media influencers were for the money, being able to try new products or services and because they thought the work would be fun.

Other factors, such as excessive social media use; knowing, following or trusting influencers; and being willing to accept money to market a product even if they didnt like it, also informed aspirations to become a social media influencer.

Influencers often edit their content, creating a highly desirable image that is not always reflective of reality. Some might promote products they may not truly believe in or like for financial gain. This suggests not all social media influencers are as trusting as users perceive them to be.

According to one U.S. study, one-third of young people trust health influencers on TikTok more than their doctors. This is seriously concerning, as influencers do not need any academic or professional credentials, and tend to curate their online persona through opinions rather than facts.

Many social media users feel a career as an influencer is more desirable than a traditional career. Influencers tend to be idolized, especially by younger generations. So its not surprising that many of them are interested in a career in influencing. However, the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits.

Most participants in our study cited financial gain as the main reason for wanting to become a social media influencer, but the career might not be as lucrative as some think. It is true that top influencers can earn millions of dollars on their respective platforms, but this is the exception rather than the rule.

The average user who monetizes their content will bring in significantly less depending on the platform, number of followers, method of marketing and the type of content they are creating.

While there is limited research on what types of content are easier to monetize, many top influencers belong to different genres. That suggests intangible factors, like how authentic an influencer is perceived to be and how well they communicate and connect with their followers, are the most important keys to success.

Some platforms such as YouTube require meeting certain thresholds of subscribers and viewers before content can be monetized, with no guarantee that the creator will ever meet that threshold, even if they post regularly.

On top of an unpredictable income, another disadvantage is volatile job security. Social media networking sites use algorithms to sort posts on a users feed to ensure that the user sees content that the algorithm deems is relevant to them at any given time.

As this technology advances, it is becoming more difficult than ever to predict how algorithms popularize content. Even well-established content creators struggle to diversify their content and meet the ever-changing demands of seemingly random algorithms.

Unforeseen national policy changes can also add uncertainty. Canadas impending Bill C-11 will require streaming platforms like YouTube to promote a minimum amount of Canadian content to its Canadian users.

This is worrisome for some Canadian content creators, as Bill C-11 does not specifically define what is considered Canadian content, and has the potential to reduce the visibility of their content and make it difficult for them to reach the same number of users.

Similarly, the TikTok bans in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere have some content creators on edge about potentially losing access to the platform.

All these issues make influencing a difficult career to break into and maintain. It is important for those interested in making a career out of influencing to be aware of these challenges.

As a form of independent entrepreneurship, influencing comes with no regulation, training or support. The result of this can be young content creators struggling with physical and mental health issues brought on by cyberbullying and high stress.

With more young people wanting to be influencers, it is our job to educate rather than dissuade. By highlighting these realities, we hope to mitigate some of the negative outcomes associated with a career in social media influencing.

Want to be a social media influencer? You might want to think again - The Conversation

Allowing us to express our thoughts and share our experiences with the world, social media has become vital in our daily lives. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, all offered something unique at the time of their inception and have since become people's mainstream choice for interacting with the online world.

Despite the staggering user counts that these social media giants hold, new ventures that quickly turned into successes are proof that there is always room for something new and different.

From a platform curated for creative individuals, to an audio-based network, here are some of the most unique social media apps you can use for a refreshingly different experience.

Among the various effects of social media on adolescents, the biggest ramification of these platforms has to be the overuse and dependency on filters. BeReal counters this by promoting a more realistic approach to sharing pictures on the internet.

Every day at random, BeReal sends out a notification prompting its users to take a photo and upload it within the timeframe of two minutes. There are no filters that you can access, and the app captures pictures from your front and back cameras simultaneously. You can retake a BeReal as many times as you wish, but you do need to publish it to check out what your friends have posted for the day.

The uncertainty of when you get to post a photo paired with a filter-less approach to sharing your life is what makes BeReal one of the more peculiar social media apps out right now.

Launched during the peak of the pandemic in 2020, at a time when most people were locked indoors and bored to tears, Clubhouse almost reinvented social media. And by reinvent, we mean going back to the roots of communication and once again popularizing audio-only conversations.

Clubhouse features several live discussions on various topics that you can join and participate in. You can create your own rooms, invite your friends or just share the link with the masses and enjoy a conversation with strangers.

Clubhouse ended up being so popular that in a matter of weeks, the more mainstream social media platforms followed suit. In fact, if you find yourself using Twitter a lot, you can join Twitter Spaces and enjoy a similar experience to that of Clubhouse.

Polywork isn't your usual happy-go-lucky social media platform where you find cat photos or selfies, and instead is geared towards working professionals looking to interact and collaborate with others in a similar domain.

When you first sign up for an account, Polywork will prompt you to choose a few communities that you can later interact in. Like most other social platforms, you can post, comment, like, and follow other people.

Polywork is still a very sparsely populated networking site but one that has a lot of potential if used correctly. You can think of it as a slightly more community-oriented version of LinkedIn.

It might seem a bit far-fetched to label Discord as a social media app, but the inclusion of community-focused features recently has made it a viable option for those looking to discover communities and make new friends.

Apart from video and voice calling, texting, and creating stickers, you can add apps to your Discord server to automate almost every action.

You can join and interact with people using the public server browser on Discord. Featured communities usually are a great way to explore new games, hobbies, and now even AI tools.

You've probably heard your favorite YouTuber promoting their Patreon in their videos. For the uninitiated, Patreon is a community where creators can upload content in the form of photos, videos, and other exclusive rewards. These goodies can then be accessed by fans who pay for a monthly subscription.

There are different tiers at which creators can choose to place different amounts of content for their patrons to access. One of the biggest reasons why Patreon is such a striving platform for creators is because the company only takes about a 5 percent commission on transactions, reserving most of the revenue for the creators.

Reddit is the website on the internet. Are you interested in cats? Or perhaps you enjoy watching kids fall overthere's a place for everything on Reddit.

The website is divided into thousands of smaller communities that are aptly called subreddits. These communities are jam-packed with all kinds of users, be they experts on the topic, or those who are just scratching the surface.

There is a very effective upvote and downvote system on the website which essentially declares which posts end up on the front page of Reddit. Users also get Reddit karma based on how people react to their posts and comments. You can create posts with photos, videos, GIFs, or just text.

Many argue that due to its vastness, Reddit is the best social media platform you could be using, and we tend to agree with that.

Another instance of a platform blowing up due to the effects of the pandemic is Letterboxd. It is essentially a huge community built for cinephiles who love watching and reviewing movies.

You can keep track of every recent movie you've watched, create a watch list, and discover similar movies based on your watch history. A great way to find new recommendations is by reading reviews left by other users.

Apart from reviewing movies and star rating them, you can create movie lists and diary entries on Letterboxd. Lists are a great way to sort a similar set of movies you've watched, and diary entries can be fun looking back on as memories.

Ello is a platform dedicated to creative individuals, more specifically, artists. You can share your work in a community full of artists, but using Ello gets you more than just likes and followers.

The Creative Briefs section on the platform allows users to connect with major brands through briefs that are regularly posted. If the brand ends up liking your submission, you may be chosen to work on a project directly with the agency.

The Arts Editorial and Underscore campaigns are a great way for community art to gain widespread recognition. If utilized properly, Ello can help artists crack brand deals and make posting to social media worthwhile.

Most mainstream social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter seem to be incorporating the same set of features that keeps narrowing the differentiating factors between them.

No matter what social media platform you incline the most towards, there is a plethora of ways to distinctively craft and consume content. Fortunately, certain social media apps truly do offer unique features, and it is up to us internet beings to explore these new platforms.
