Media Guardian summarises an interesting new survey from the Deloitte's technology, media and telecoms team:
Media trends in 2007 could include social networking websites such as MySpace charging users, according to a new report.
The survey, by Deloitte Touche Tomatsu's technology, media and telecoms team, also predicts that virtual world Second Life's burgeoning economy may attract the eye of government tax experts and money launderers.
Deloitte Touche Tomatsu's findings suggest that while older users may want to join the most popular social networking websites, such as MySpace, Bebo and Piczo, they may also be willing to pay for privacy to ensure that some content, such as personal videos and photographs, is only seen by a select group of friends and peers.
These premium subscriptions could, in addition to guaranteeing privacy, offer value-added services ranging from voice messaging to group chats, online storage and webpage design.
