Why these websites grew?
Facebook:
Facebook is one of the most popular sites for sharing pictures and videos. Facebook took aim at college age youth and then quickly brought mainstream users into the mix. More importantly, it pushed family members, coworkers, and casual friends to connect. By sometime early next year, Facebook will hit 600 million members. Over three million companies use the site for marketing.
Twitter:
Twitter actually working as a social network for professionals and businesses – simply because it isn’t very complicated. So many brands that we know and interact with like Microsoft, Alaska Air, Southwest, Wachovia, Dell, PCC Markets and others are doing a great job at building loyal followings, creating real-time communication platforms with customers, and the ability to target marketing specials. These interactions and the follower base are what is generating revenue and cost savings — creating more traction than fan pages of yesteryear did for many brands in places like Facebook or MySpace. So, this is why Twitter is and will continue to be valuable…
Google+
Google+ is a new tool just coming a few months ago. The advantage of Google+ is Gmail integration and the link to other social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc….
Linkedln
Given that business men and investors alike continue to focus on Brazil, Russia, India and China (known as BRIC), LinkedIn is in the right track to expand its member base in these countries. E-Marketer reports that in March 2011, leading up to the eighth anniversary of its launch, LinkedIn released updated statistics about the site and its usage. The data showed that India is the largest source of members outside the US, with 9 million members, followed by Brazil and Canada, both at 3 million. Brazil is the fastest-growing source country of new users, with 428% year-over-year growth in membership in 2010.
