The Elemental Structure Of Social Media: The Overview [Infographic]

The ecosystem that we all call social media is as complex as any online infrastructure. It’s built up of a stunning number of websites and entities that originally came from someone’s brain. It’s mind boggling to think of it that way really. The ingenuity and the dedication that people show towards the Internet is as close to inspiration as you can get. It clearly shows that if you have an idea, the Internet is totally the place to develop it. Each facet of the Internet is a vital part of why the Internet is such an extraordinary place to browse and exist on. However, there are only a few websites that make up the majority of what we call social media today.

There’s no doubt a lot of startups out there that are competing for becoming the next poster website for the next big thing. But to get to the point of viral user growth, you really need to set your idea up to be as easy to use as possible, yet still allow the users to wield more and more powerful tools in order to increase their own influence on the Internet. It’s a tricky path to tread, and the chance of failure is probably your hardest competitor to conquer.

Crest Media, Inc tried to map the core social media outlets in an elements and compound periodic table. It’s a great tool if you’re looking for specific outlets that you think might work better for your endeavor. It’s easy to just go with what is popular in today’s social media landscape, but sometimes these services just keep companies from reaching their full potential when it comes to reaching new as well as existing customers and clients.

This periodic table called Social Alchemy: Periodic Table Of Social Media can seem quite confusing at first. Each category of sites is labeled with a color, which usually is the case with periodic tables. But these colors can easily intermingle and become a fuzzy representation that is easily lost in translation. However, with a little bit of focus, you can find some rather interesting social outlets that you haven’t yet discovered and tried.

A key rule for any company or brand is to venture out and really conduct some research. It doesn’t only put you on the right path, but it will also save you a lot of time in the long run. It might not seem like it right now, but you’ll discover that all your efforts spent on researching which later lead you to sign up on a new more suitable social networking service will provide a stronger and more sustainable platform that will make your chances of success more defined.
