Over the past ten years, therehave been many different types of social medias on the internet. Myspace.com started it in many ways, but then Facebook came about. Facebook added over 200 million users in less than a years time. Currently if Facebook were a country, it would be the third world’s largest. There are other social sites like LinkedIn, which is primarily used for people to connect for possible jobs. There is also Twitter, which is known to be used for live chats between businesses and consumers. There are others as well, but these three are the most popular. I’d personally suggest we focus our efforts on Facebook since it is the most popular website on the entire internet.
This gives an overview of all the different types of social networks. It even breaks it down by the type. Notice Facebook and Google are the center of it all.
With advertising on Facebook, we can reach all types of consumers from all over the world with one advertising fee. Facebook's fees are pretty reasonable as well. We can change our settings with a few clicks of some buttons on Facebook as well.
