Which social media site do I need?
Sometimes it’s the simplest infographics that really capture the imagination. This infographic from Visual.ly outlines what each social network does with one simple sentence.
It’s actually a great example to show anyone that utters the words “But why would I use more than one social network?” It highlights the subtle differences between the networks, which attract varied audiences – or the same audiences using sites in very different ways. For example, those who love to share their dinner with Flickr or Tumblr are unlikely to have the same affection for Meetup – unless they also love finding business networking groups, or local knitting meet-ups.
Overall, it demonstrates that social media is all about sharing – it’s just a different approach for how they share it.
What do you think? Do you use multiple social networks?
