This is an infographic from breakingcopy.com. Great site, check it out when you get a chance.
This is pretty accurate and does a good job in not showing all possible networks out there as these are now the major players in the game (maybe minus Tumblr). I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of these come off the table soon (LinkedIN, Foursquare G+) through acquisition or being shut down due to competition passing them by.
Google+ is still pretty new in the scheme of things. I’ve yet to find an audience on there that isn’t on twitter. For me, this infographic for me is partially true. The one workflow arrow that is lacking is the length of the message I’d like to convey. More or less than 140 chars? The ability to write more than 140 chars are Twitter’s strength and hold-up. Message length and threaded conversations (trying to see what someone else is responding to is difficult to follow). The audience on Twitter is right for digital and sports talk, but the medium is limiting to tell longer form opinions.
Facebook is another story as I have so many personal friends from High School and College that get tired of my work geek speak I find it counterproductive to post a lot of sports or digital notes on there. The audience (digital audience, not sports audience) is on Google+ and I’ve used it to be an outlet for longer form geek speak. It is no replacement for personal sharing like Facebook (nor do I need one yet), nor do I think it will become one.
