Just curious to see which social media sites are getting the most play and why. Feel free to post any follow-up or relative info to the thread!

And if there is a site you use most often that isn't listed here please be sure to mention it and include a link.

Please vote based on *business use* only.

While I am very active on my FB business page and post to Twitter, it is LinkedIn that I have gotten the most referrals. I am not 100% but I did have one client who found me there tell me because they were able to see my blog, slideshare, what I was reading (Amazon plugin) and referrals from my network.

Now that you can integrate Twitter even more I am wondering with that will affect my ROI.

I participate on LinkedIn on a daily basis, belong to a number of its groups and participate in the Q&A through a feedreader. In the groups, if you wade through the spam and bait & switch posts, you can find some interesting discussions, learn a lot from people around the world and make some great contacts.

This discussion make me wonder if I should be putting more effort into my Linkedin Page. I've always written off as more "corporate" than anything and not suitable to my target market, I'm starting to wonder if I'm off track on that and maybe it's time to re-look at my strategy.

While I try to only focus on one maybe two main points of contact for social networking, I haven't see any significant jump in contacts because of my Facebook page and see that as my way of keeping my name in people's minds and I love twitter because of the great interaction and community building I've been able to do.

I think I will look to build a strategy to incorporate Linkedin more, I was going to focus on Facebook in March to see what kind of growth or interaction I built, but I think I'm going to try Linkedin instead and see what happens in comparison to where I'm at now.

Yep, in my experience, LinkedIn is the most responsive social medium. FB and Twitter have their uses and fascinations, but LI is where the rubber hits the road (is that how you say it?)

LinkedIn is a great marketing tool when you use all of the tools they offer. I joined a number of groups and I can foresee many referrals and clients for LinkedIn I just can't wait to get officially started.
