Social Media Categories

When you start working with Social Media Marketing you need to measure it somehow.

All sites and statistics need a place or category. It just makes it easier to find or gather together.

Danny Sullivan (Guru) made his categorization on his blog.

Here hare his subcategories of Social Media

•Social News Sites

•Social Bookmarking Sites

•Social Networking

•Social Knowledge

•Social Sharing
