The Results and Insights: Which social media tool would you give up?
by Alicia Franks on Jul.08, 2010, under Social Media
Last week, we ran a poll to see which social media tool would be the hardest to give up. And I was actually surprised by the results! I assumed that most people would say their blogs and then twitter, with facebook coming up third. And then we had the one “other” entry for their mouth (from @TopBrokerOC). Which happens to be a really brilliant response, and am surprised that I didn’t think of it (I know, modest right?). Check out the full results:
I know for me, giving up my blog would be impossible. It gives me space to share as much or as little as I want, is completely customizable and provides an outlet for my thoughts. The benefit of social media tools is not the fact that you can talk to a lot of people – it is that you can share good content with a lot of people. A blog is the basis for the content. Without a blog (or other peoples blogs) I wouldn’t have much content to share on twitter or facebook. In fact, without blogs, life would be pretty dull! Think about all the blogs you read on a daily basis…what if they all just disappeared? I am pretty sure sites like twitter and facebook would cease to have the same appeal because then all people would have to share is what they are actually doing, as opposed to sharing articles and insights.
If you voted (or even if you didn’t), I want to know which tool you chose and why?

Twitter (for example) is a tool in the social media mix and TWitter is all about the engagement and conversation in real time. Before Twitter and electronic social media, being social usually meant having a conversation, which required a mouth…..hence my comment in your survey. People buy people before they buy products or services; in most cases the face-to-face meeting along with a conversation gets business started.
