This above is a snapshot of Google trends search on Usability..  So much usage, yet not productive enough? 
The way, I see it, there is so much potential for social media growth, and targeted marketing. Yet, Malaysians are not recognized globally and the amount of web development expertise are… hand countable. 

If, anyone in Malaysia was to publish a service in a proper ethical, new web methods, social media etc.. There are no reasons why we would be left behind!

So why are we left behind? The answer is simple. Wrong Usage. Wrong Coverage. Wrong Audience.

Below are, the most widely used applications with professionalism standards involved. This are applications that uses social media at its best. Services that provide values for users. I went through couple of famous services and most of them had similar results. To show what I mean, I post below, stats for Twitter & Facebook.

Well, what’s my point here? Malaysia could not be found on any of this benefiting services here. But where are most of the users going to! See Below…

Im amazed.. We are even on the top 10 cities. Well, majority Malaysians are using the internet today for the sake of friend-finding. Yes its social, but please do take a look at the profiles you find at friendster. Its pretty amateur. That’s fine, but its just bunch of useless information and posterity. Exposing your self on the net with all your fancy poses, what’s the point? Is friendster some sort of date service? Don’t mistake me my friends, but this is an ongoing issue. Look at the potential we have yet its being drained into the wrong channels! I understand that the majority users of friendster are schooling teenagers. Well how are we going to create an awareness, it’s totally another issue.

Well, some people may argue with me that Facebook is the same thing, well you are wrong! Do read my previous post on the facebook mutual contact issue for a better understanding. 

My dear friends, please wake up. The internet could be a dot-com bubble for our economy as well only if it is put to the right usage. Know the Internet. Know the Social ethics. Know how to Behave. Know Where to go.
