What's the most important social network for Internet marketers?

Anna Johnson · 05-31-2009, 08:36 PM

LinkedIn recently carried out a poll which asked members: "What is the most important new platform for brands to master?" out of Twitter, Facebook, the iPhone, Digg and LinkedIn.

Well, let's see what Internet marketers think, based on changing the question slightly:

What is the most important new platform for Internet marketers to master?

James Spinosa · 05-31-2009, 08:40 PM

Twitter, the others have all peaked or are on the decline (Yes, I said it, facebook has peaked in terms of marketing).

Anna Johnson · 06-01-2009, 02:16 AM

Does everyone agree that it's Twitter... ?

Twitter is strong stuff. Of course, Google Wave is coming and it might be a good idea to get onboard early.

It has to be twitter without a shadow of doubt it is being talked about everywhere and you can not only make great contacts but you can actually run a business directly from it.

Only using twitter at the moment, however I'm sure the other networks are effective as well and I plan on setting up accounts on those as well.

Anna Johnson · 06-01-2009, 07:32 AM

Keep the votes coming... I'll be interested to see if anyone disagrees about Twitter...

yes Twitter is on fire right now,
i already tried Twitter but i believe i got so late so not getting real followers, but if you work lil bit harder on Twitter surely its the best one

Harry Behrens · 06-01-2009, 07:42 AM

Wow. I think that's probably the first time I've seen a forum poll go 100% like that

Still early though! And yeah I agree Twitter is where it's at at the moment.

Twitter is strong, but it fails
to establish proper relationships. It is great
to drive traffic, but that aswell could be complicated
if you have a massive following.

I reckon it's still too early to say you're late

Plus it looks like Twitter might be clamping down on automated following/unfollowing tools so you may see a return to getting 'real' followers.
