New Social Media Study: Nearly 60 Percent Say LinkedIn is Most Important Social Network Account
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 07, 2011 Performics , the performance marketing agency owned by Publicis Groupe , today released results from "S-Net (The Impact of Social Media )," a report from ROI Research Inc. sponsored by Performics. According to the survey of 2,997 active social networkers, 59 percent of respondents said it is important to have a LinkedIn account, more than any other social network. Furthermore, of the study respondents with an active LinkedIn account, 50 percent visit the site at least weekly and 20 percent visit the site at least daily. While this new social media study shows the frequency of LinkedIn visits decreasing since the height of the recession in 2010 (67 percent weekly and 22 percent daily visits), the percentage of people who deem LinkedIn the most important social networking site jumped dramatically from 41 percent last year to 59 percent this year.

LinkedIn is a great tool for building relationships for those who know what they are doing. Many LinkedIn users think that they should join as many groups as they possibly can to maximize their ability to use the site successfully. They end up spreading themselves too thin and don't have time to make lasting connections in any of them.
