Join us on this journey through the digital zeitgeist, where the worth of internet trends is illuminated in all its captivating glory.

Internet Trends for 2013

In 2013, the digital landscape witnessed a dynamic evolution, marked by emerging internet trends that reshaped online culture. From the viral phenomena of the Harlem Shake to the increasing dominance of mobile messaging apps like WhatsApp, the year showcased a mix of entertainment, communication shifts, and technological advancements. Explore the transformative internet trends of 2013, delving into the trends that captivated audiences and left a lasting impact on the digital sphere.

Frape
Frape (Facebook rape) is a trend that took great hype from Facebook users in 2013. It refers to the unauthorized use of someone’s Facebook account to post humorous or embarrassing content without their knowledge or consent.
Hashtag
Back in 2013, hashtags gained significant popularity on social media platforms. A hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by the # symbol used on social media platforms to categorize and link content. It helps users discover and engage with topics of interest.
Influencer
The trend that started its growth with the term influencer refers to an individual who can influence the purchasing decisions of others due to their authority, knowledge, or position within a specific niche. Today influencers are the backbone of social media with huge fan followings, collaborating with brands to promote products or services.
Listicle
A listicle combines the elements of a list and an article, often featuring numbered or bulleted points with concise information. Listicles became popular due to their easy-to-read format and are commonly found on websites covering various topics.
Selfie
A selfie is a self-portrait photograph taken with a camera or smartphone. Selfies became extremely popular with the widespread use of front-facing cameras on smartphones, and they are often shared on social media platforms.
TBT
TBT is a hashtag used on social media platforms, especially Instagram, to share nostalgic or old photos on Thursdays. Users post pictures from the past, reflecting on memories and experiences.
MCM & WCW
It’s a trend that uses this hashtag  MCM and WCW that allows users to share and post a photo or message of their crush on social media. MCM is used on Mondays for male crushes, and WCW is used on Wednesdays for female crushes.
Rapid Adoption of Mobile Payments
Mobile payment services, like Apple Pay and Google Wallet, gained traction as more people started using their smartphones for transactions, marking a shift towards cashless and digital payment methods.
Rise of Wearable Technology
The year saw an increasing interest in wearable devices, including smartwatches and fitness trackers, as technology companies released innovative products in this category.
Mobile Messaging Apps
The popularity of mobile messaging apps, such as WhatsApp, Snapchat, and others, continued to rise, signaling a shift in how people communicate and share content on their mobile devices.

Internet Trends for 2012

The Internet is a place where you’ll keep exploring the latest trends and technologies. As technology advances, internet users expect digital companies to come up with sophisticated trends to make life more convenient and hassle-free. Below we’ve curated a list of the top 10 internet trends of 2012 and what users can expect in the upcoming year. Let’s have a look at these trends!

Touch Computing
Touch computing refers to the use of touchscreen interfaces in computing devices. This trend became especially prominent with the rise of smartphones and tablets, where users interact with devices by tapping, swiping, and pinching on the screen.
Social Gestures
It’s the use of physical movements or actions to interact with social media platforms or other digital interfaces. For example, “liking” a post on Facebook or giving a thumbs-up emoji are social gestures.
NFC and Mobile Payments
NFC technology enables short-range communication between devices. In the context of mobile payments, it allows users to make transactions by simply tapping their smartphones or other NFC-enabled devices on payment terminals.
TV Everywhere
With the TV Everywhere concept users can access television content on various devices beyond the traditional TV set. It involves streaming TV shows and movies on laptops, tablets, and smartphones, providing more flexibility in content consumption.
Second-screen Experiences
This refers to the trend of using a second screen, such as a smartphone or tablet, simultaneously while watching TV. Users engage with complementary content, live tweets, or additional information related to the TV show or event.
Flexible Screens
Flexible screens refer to displays that can bend or curve. This technology allows for innovative designs in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices, providing new possibilities for form factors and user experiences.
Google Panda
Google Panda is an algorithm update by Google that aims to improve the quality of search results by penalizing websites with low-quality content and rewarding those with high-quality, relevant content.
App Stores
App Stores are digital distribution platforms where users can browse, download, and install applications for their devices. Popular examples include the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Peer-to-Peer Gaming
Peer-to-peer gaming involves players connecting directly with each other, often over the internet, to engage in multiplayer gaming experiences without the need for a centralized game server. This trend allows for more direct player interactions and can enhance the gaming experience.
Beyond the iPad
This term suggests the expansion of the tablet market beyond the dominance of the iPad. It reflects the increasing variety of tablets from different manufacturers and the evolving landscape of portable computing devices.

Internet Trends for 2011

With the New Year approaching people are often recap on the year past and what they learned from the events that transpired. Another important exercise is to analyze the signs that give us an idea of what to expect from the year ahead.

Television
2010 proved to be a terrible year for traditional media with TV viewership & print circulation down. This however was no surprise as it just continued the trend from 2009. With Internet TV (Google-TV, Apple TV, Boxee, etc.) now flooding the market, it seems sitting on our couches and watching televisions might once again be in style. Instead of watching regular television stations however, we’ll be watching Hulu, YouTube, or Netflix through our Ethernet jacked boxes. Initial adoption is a bit slow, but there is no reason why it won’t catch on fairly quickly.
Magazines
Well we all know magazines are going the way of the dodo bird (become obsolete). The iPad however provides some solace with the release of the new 4.2 iOS through which in-app subscriptions are now possible. Virgin lead the way with it’s new magazine called Project, which is a fully interactive, and immersive experience like never before. And each month, when a new issue is out, it will be delivered to your iPad. This doesn’t solve too many of the major problems however, as magazines were already using in-app purchases to allow consumers to buy 12 month subscriptions, but it does provide a nice little added feature.
Check-ins
Check-ins have been the buzz word for the majority of 2010 and there is no letting up. With new major players such as SCVNGR and Facebook Places “checking in” to the market a lot of users are getting annoyed at the whole concept and getting what is termed as ‘check-in fatigue’. This however is being battled by innovative thinking from companies such as Gowalla which have now allowed users to check-in to a location automatically using their Facebook, Foursquare and Gowalla accounts simultaneously. A bold new approach towards check-ins. Don’t expect check-ins to go away in 2011, they still have some purpose to serve.
Coupons
Groupon has inspired more clones than any other startup in 2010. Their brand new approach to providing deals and discounts has sparked the imagination of millions and whether or not Groupon is acquired by Google, there is no doubt that 2011 will see this industry flourish. Everyone loves free stuff or discounted stuff, and this is a way of life that is not going to change. Groupon took that human psyche and added a social element to it, creating one of the most well thought out business models in recent memory. Expect social coupons to continue blazing away in 2011.
