Social Media Options for Business VS Personal Use

So I'd like to talk a little bit about which options of social media seem to be best suited for personal VS business use today on the David C blog. Perhaps the best all around option for business is twitter but that's jsut my opinion. I think being about to leave brief tweets provides a convinient avenue to stay plugged in to continuously updating what is relevent to your business. I also think that Linked In and Facebook are great for business. But in my opinion, facebook is rather well suited for day to day personal connection needs too. This is partly because it is already the most popular option out there and so many people are connected but that makes it a great option for business too since increasing one's social capital is more probable with the potential inherent in such a popular platform. The best social media options for personal use I think are well, ofcoarse Facebook (duh) and You Tube. They have been the popular go to options for promoting yourself for a while for all kinds of reasons and with so many people scanning them both for recreational purposes they already have an entertainment oriented reputation. Instagram is great also as is Flickr (if sharing pics is your thing) and I don't know if anyone remembers a website called myspace but once apon a time it started this whole social media thing off to what it has becomd now so it is worth mentioning though I don't believe it still has many new subscribers compared to say Facebook but it is very much appropriate for personal use.
