For the past six years I have spent 50 to 60 hours a week utilizing Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Foursquare to promote nonprofits. Not blogging.

I do occasionally give thumbs up, and sometimes I’ll even comment. Compared to Twitter and MySpace, it’s been a much more difficult community to grow and engage. I get little to no website or blog traffic from Facebook (most comes from Twitter and LinkedIn). Thumbs up and comments are difficult to inspire.
