I'm baffled. According to Abrams Research Social Media Survey 2009, only 15% of respondents say Facebook is their number one choice for social media service to spend money on. Twitter came in as number one with 40%, LinkedIn came in second with 21% and YouTube came in third with 19%. MySpace came in last. I don't understand the reasoning behind the low social network ratings- my only guess is that people just don't know or understand how to use social networks yet.

If you are reading this blog, you are getting close to the solution for monetizing social media.
