What's interesting about this is that last year, Facebook was the favored social network with 56% of social network users considering it the "most important." As MarketingProfs deducts, this leap ahead for LinkedIn could be the consequence of a turbulent economy and job market: people are prioritizing business networking and job-seeking over social interactions on the web.
So what does this mean for your small business? It means your business should be on LinkedIn! Creating a company page only takes a few minutes and -- when coupled with a lively Twitter stream (which you can have fed into your LinkedIn company page) -- equals a big amount of exposure for your brand where your customers are gathering online.
Now, a reason to join Twitter: the study shows that users who follow a brand/business on Twitter are more likely (59%) to buy from and recommend the business than on Facebook (53%).
The study is fascinating and represents a pretty big turn in the world of social media and social networking. We highly recommend reading the whole thing.
