What is the Social Automation trend?
Social Automation: When Twitter imposed a 140-character limit, users wondered whether they could restrict their online interactions to such brevity. Now, however, social media users are used to short and sweet interactions, and innovations are popping up to make them almost effortless. Apps like automatic Tweet-makers are making online interactions as uncomplicated and instantaneous as possible, allowing users more time for other virtual activities—say, watching YouTube videos and playing online games.
