And they have a lot to say:
Facebook has highest reciprocity – upwards of 90% of people on other networks are also on Facebook
Beyond Facebook the obvious social media giant, it’s very difficult to predict which other 1-2 sites your audience is engaging with (and it varies by industry, gender, location, etc.)
Unpredictable, specific to different audiences
Sina Weibo – Chinese microblogging website.
Vkontakte – Russian social media site, and largest European social networking service
