LinkedIn voted future proof

Business networking site LinkedIn has been voted the most future proof social media site in a new online opinion poll published today by SEOptimise.


Twenty-seven per cent of voters said LinkedIn would still be here in 2020. Facebook and YouTube came joint second with 25% of the votes each, followed by Twitter at 15%. None of the voters
expected MySpace to survive the next decade.



Thirty-nine per cent of businesses that voted in the poll are using social media channels such as Twitter, StumbleUpon and LinkedIn to boost their brand and drive people to their website. Thirty-nine per cent are using social media predominantly to build and manage relationships.
