How you use these networks depends on the nature of your brand. LinkedIn is the clear winner for B2B interaction, while Facebook is huge for B2C brands, or anything with a mainstream consumer component.
I use Facebook for personal connections and LinkedIn for business connections, and I try not to cross-pollinate too much! :) Be aware that according to Gartner, the largest single demographic using Twitter is not teens and tweens, but baby boomers! While the former get all the media attention, your prospective customers and suppliers are probably among the latter. They can all improve your SEO more than anything else you do, but note that Google+ improves it inordinately (I'm pretty sure Google gives it priority.) Your business can curse it if they wish, but ignore it at your peril! -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of John Thompson Sent: March-16-13 7:17 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Social Networks for MV I try to dabble in the social network stuff. My issue is energy/motivation. Whether we like it or not, social networks aren't going anywhere. I would go so far as to say in about 10 years no one is going to check their email anymore. And if you want new folks talking about MV in an online setting, mailing lists definitely aren't going to get you there. Just visit your local church, or some place where kids hangout and observe them- and you will see. Its a brave new world, whether we like it or not. Learn how to relate to the culture and pass on what you know- or the knowledge will be lost. Happens all the time in the history books.
