Facebook and Twitter maybe the dominant platform nowadays and putting all your resources into these two may be a little short sighted. If you want your marketing strategy to succeed, broadening your mix is a must. YouTube and Foursquare are a good bet.

I wasn’t aware of all the opportunities out there. I know foursquare is a new up and coming social media, but was unaware of other opportunities. I am working on a social media campaign right now and would be curious to find the other less talked about sources. Facebook and Twitter seem like the biggest area to focus on. I agree with Kelli, Twitter and Facebook and centered around a lot of gossips and not facts. Advertising or posting on these sites may led to your company being roped into the gossip.

You made an excellent point here. A point that pierces every soul looking to explore marketing opportunities.

One needs to extend its tentacles and reach other social marketing channels than live and die on facebook.

I use facebook and twitter but more effective on twitter which is becoming a great source of rumours. I need to go real, viral and I will go with your concept.

I completely agree! I used to spend a lot of my time on purely facebook and twitter but, I have now noticed the tons of other social media cites that are out there. Especially when it comes to the business world, there are many other places to look for the “buzz” with what’s going on in that particular field. I’m afraid that Facebook and twitter are dwindling down to pure social gossip instead of sending positive and educational messages.

I had to go read your definition of holistic first before deciding how much I agreed with you. And you’ve got it absolutely correct in that it’s about a fully integrated experience and not just Facebook and Twitter. This is especially true when one considers that not every business or even individual is suited for either of these.
