Who will be the Most Trendy Social Media App in 2019?

We are currently near the end of 2018, so ever wonder who's going to win the social media war in the year 2019? Which social app will be the big breakout winner worldwide and how will it differ across different countries and regions like the United States, China, Europe, Latin America, Europe etc.

Twitter peaked in 2011 & Instagram social videos

Obviously the big players like Facebook will have staying power but new players like Instagram & Yolo are attracting a fair bit of growing interest in 2019. Twitter may have peaked in 2011 with Instagram seemingly breakout performance from 2012 to the present, with no signs of this trend faltering, especially with well received new features like Instagram Stories.

In the US at least, we can infer a worrisome trend (for Mark Zuckerberg at least) that Facebook peaked broadly speaking around 2012, compared to the previous leader in social media MeSpace which peaked in 2007.

So who will be the leader in the Social Media domain, will it be innovators like Instagram, up and coming competitors like Snapchat. Obviously this post's exclusive US focus only gives us a slice of the Worldwide trends in social media usage. So we will be sure to followup with more in depth worldwide and select regional analysis for other large markets like the Latin America and Asia, in particular China.

It seems Facebook and Twitter may well follow the doomed fate of MySpace in this fickle fast paced world of Social Media frenzy. I am putting my bet firmly on Instagram at this point in time, but don't quote me on it (unless I turn out to be of correct).
