I like the categories you have for social media, but the opening of the blog post, along with a tweetup chat I participated in this morning reminded me of something I've been meaning to blog about. I find too many businesses, especially small businesses, get into social media because it's there and "free" and not because it is going to meet any goal or objective for them. It probably could, but they don't think that through so they have no strategy in mind, thus they don't succeed in their social media efforts. I try to educate businesses to think in terms of "Could social media help my business achieve our goals or objectives?" For most companies, the answer is yes, but sometimes, it is a no. Rare, but still a no; maybe due to other business factors or resource issues, etc. Here is a link to my post. I'd love to hear your response. http://idiomstrategies.com/Idiomatic/archives/351 Mirna, I noticed you tweeted the link to this post again today.

As mentioned in my post, there will be tools that fit into different categories. Yelp/Foursquare are definitely in that category. When Yelp first launched, it was more like a directory to find local businesses, so it did belong under local search and it still does to some degree; however, I think it also has evolved into a social network as well since it is built around the entire notion of community. I have also heard some experts refer to it as an aggregator since it is a collection of reviews in one place, but I don’t know if I completely agree with that opinion. For me, Foursquare is more of a mobile/gaming application, but some may disagree with me. Foursquare considers itself as a cross between FriendFeed, a city-guide, and a game. How a business decides to use these tools will most likely determine what categories they fit into. Please let me know if this helps you. Hello Deborah,

Hi Catherine! No, you would not put any specific industry or industries under one category...every company has different objectives and what they choose should be based on those objectives. It should not be on-size-fits all approach with social media, and being a copy cat does not result in success. It is important to be innovative and creative! Thanks for re-blogging Yan! Hi Catherine!

Thank you for posting and letting us know we can use it. I'll definitely be sharing this! I'm curious to know if you would group any specific industries under one or more categories. It would be interesting to see if there is a direct trend that's relevant. LUV Rita's comment "Wheel of Social Fortune" Mirna,
