Which social media tool would you choose?

Jon Buscall, one of the bloggers I read on a daily basis, posed the question: What’s the most important social media site for your business?

My answer was Twitter. I can use it to promote my blog posts, ask questions, send short messages, invite people to events, and it keeps me at the forefront of a lot of peoples thoughts.

But then I got to thinking: What if  I had to choose only one social media tool that I could use?

I wouldn’t choose twitter, I would choose my blog.

But why? Why wouldn’t I pick the tool that I think is most important for my business?

Because without my blog, twitter wouldn’t be the most important tool for my business. My blog is where I get the content to share. My blog is where I send people who ask about my business. My blog is the start of it all. Without a blog, I wouldn’t have a business to promote. But, that is just me. Everyone has different thoughts on social media tools so I want your answers:

If you had to pick only one social media to use, which would it be? I expect that there will be strong arguments for each one, so please share the reasoning behind your choice in the comments.

    This test isn’t impartial! It was taken ON a blog site, and a lot of your readers have their own blogs.

    I think that Facebook would be one of the best Social Media outlets a person can keep out of all of the choices.

    There’s less of a demand than twitter which DOES have a learning curve and a certain amount of activity that you need to maintain. With a lot of the features that are built into Facebook, you can even blog from there.

    Business’ have ads, bloggers and musicians have fan pages so you CAN reach out to your clientele.

    Thanks for the link Kirsten. I personally use Twitter to drive traffic to my blog, which I then use to try and convert readers to customers.

    But for one of my customers it’s a Facebook Fan Page that does all the work, driving masses of traffic to their site.

    I guess it depends on your audience and what you’re dealing with.

    You would have loved the conference I was at today: Disruptive Media. Check #realconf on Twitter Search for all the links. The videos should be up soon.
