There is no doubt that technology affects nearly every single person on the planet. The growth of social networking technology has increased exponentially and it can be truly overwhelming. New social networks, apps and gadgets continue to be created and the pace of development is only surpassed by the enormous amount of data that all of these innovations produce. Everything that we connect with, follow, share and say is combined to generate important information that can enhance the experiences of customers with services and products.
Innovating the World of Social Networks
While the technological advancements of social networks are stunning, it would not be possible without the most important part of the equation – the human element. The human element is essential to putting together and understanding the vast amount of information that we receive from social networks. The innovation of social networks can only come from a person’s ability to recognize opportunities and apply them to the social world. Humans are the only ones that can make sense of this data and describe it in a way that is both helpful and meaningful.
eToro: Embracing the Human Element
While many other social networks may not realize the importance of human capital, eToro makes a point to celebrate it. At eToro, we understand that our traders are taking massive amounts of data and analyzing it in such a way that benefits everyone in the community. This allows members of the community to both understand and capitalize on this information. eToro is one of the first social networks to base our entire community on people in it. All of the innovations in social network technology and all of the data received by networks are meaningless without the human element to evaluate and make sense of it all. The human element is the only aspect of social networks that can influence true innovation. Below is a video about eToro’s social investment network called OpenBook.
