This is so true. I think the tricky part is deciding which social outlets serve your product or interests best. I like using Twitter to promote my blog but reserve Facebook for communicating with close friends and family. It's great that we have so many options to pick from. Sometimes it makes sense to follow your competition and make sure you show up whenever they do!

Thanks!

Exactly it is like that, not all of the platforms are suitable for every domain. I too have twitter in my list at the top and along with other networks. But, at Facebook, I did some effort to gain some result which is not satisfactory though so I put it a bit lower in my list. Following competition is really good and fruitful point, we often need to do so.
