What I think is great is that right now the main sites (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn) all have a different set of programs that can add value to your objectives in different ways. The best thing to do is hit them all in the ways they work best.

Thanks for sharing! Let's give Twitter some love too. The benefit that Twitter has over LinkedIn and Facebook is that the content is open and available to anyone - not just members of your network. Grab a Twitter account for your event and/or make up a unique hashtag to associate with any content related to the event. It's also a great way to track and integrate conversations before, during and after and expand your personal network of followers/friends. I like those LinkedIn events. Thanks for sharing!

Facebook is a great example of a site that started basic and grew its feature set on top of an excellent platform. They have set the standard for all other social networking sites for sure.

I consider Facebook the flagship of social networking sites. Their infrastructure allows for simple, yet affective conversations which to me is the backbone of social networking. These conversations exist in all aspects of the site, which I think is the reason for their success. Nice post Steve. I consider Facebook the flagship of social networking sites.
