So what does all of this mean?

It’s good to see how the big social media sites stack up with one another.  It’s not just Facebook, Twitter, and “the rest”.  Each of these sites vary in terms of what they do and what their unique appeal is.

If you are looking to promote your book online it is quite hard to ignore all of these sites.  They can make life a lot easier for you, even if it seems like a big time-suck to be on them daily.  Try each of them and see what fits best with your needs, goals, and preferences.

Social media will only continue to grow in size and usage.  Join the party or choose to stay home.
