What social networking sites other than Twitter do you use the most?

Given the rapidly changing landscape with social networks I set up a polls to ask the Twitter community a simple question. What social networking sites other than Twitter do they use the most?

The results largely predictable do show a couple of interesting trends. It is no surprise that Facebook is the favourite alternative to Twitter, but what I wasn't expecting was how close Linked In came in as a second, a mere 6 percentage points behind. Given the relative size of the respective networks I was expecting Facebook to be way out in front.

The other surprise was the performance of Ecademy, it can in a creditable third; given that it has a tiny membership compared with the other two. Having said that I do need to accept that the results must be skewed by the composition of my network on Twitter, which is primarily business as opposed to social contacts. Despite this Ecademy's position is still quite a surprise. The other alternatives make up the remaining 10%, a relatively small percentage. Suggesting that there is more stability in the social networking world than we may first have thought.

Who's Making Money from Twitter - The Results

This was one of the most frustrating polls I’ve undertaken, mainly due to the length of time it’s taken to get a reasonable response to my question. It did occur to me that one of the reasons for the poor response was people’s reluctance to admit that they’d made little or no money from Twitter; particularly given the hype surrounding Twitter as the place to be for cutting edge Social Network Marketing. More realistically, however, we shouldn’t be surprised at how few respondents actually made any money from Twitter as it is still a new medium and most of us are still learning how to use it.

The bald facts are that 63% of all respondents have made no money from Twitter, and a further 23% less than 1000. Only 14% of respondents have made more than 1000 and 8% have made more than 10000. I'd be interested in your comments.
