Comment on the Article "New 2008 Social Technographics data reveals rapid growth in adoption"

I believe that this article, "New 2008 Social Technographics data reveals rapid growth in adoption" has a great deal of truth and very accurate predictions of the years to come in regards to Social Technographics. To be quite honest, I was probably considered just a joiner before taking this HR Systems and Technology Class.  Now that I have been exposed to new applications, such as publishing blogs, publishing my own webpages, writing articles and stories to post, I can consider myself as a Creator. I agree with the article that the reason why the growth of Creators increased slightly was because of people not wanting to talk about themselves or anything else online. I was very uncomfortable to talk about myself on blogs before this class, but now, it's a different story. My comfort level has changed drastically.  I also believe that the percentages of Creators will continually grow in minimal way.  My sister and I introduced social networks to my parents so that can communicate easier with family friends, and colleagues. I am proud that my father now has a Linkedin account and also a Facebook account. My mother is still resistant to technology but now she is reading online forums and customer ratings/reviews. At this time last year, my parents would fall under the Inactive Level.  This is an example of the increase in Joiners and Spectators from 2007 to 2008.
