Many people found the research interesting, but a number of people commented that the social networks probably shouldn’t be grouped together. So the question arose – was social media traffic misrepresented by grouping traffic from all networks together? Reply Justin December 6, 2008 at 6:34 pm Well said!

Because social media is so interactive, it can constantly shift and change; therefore, a savvy marketer needs to be extremely familiar with the community and know how each social media website audience is different from the next. Also, one story on the Digg home page does not an expert make.

Not everyone has accounts on the social sites you’re asking for votes on. And if you’re using StumbleUpon to solicit votes on Digg, do you think Digg doesn’t notice? If your content isn’t good enough to succeed on those social networks on their own, StumbleUpon isn’t going to help you.

It’s not enough to be insular and focus on your groups of friends. You may find people who are surfing outside your social circle who might be potentially interested in your products. At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. You never know who you might meet.
