In general, I see that Facebook would be on top, if you are looking to network at the same time have a brand awareness. Twitter goes next as it is mainly used for live marketing and trending a certain subject. Here comes along Linkedin, Pinterest and Instagram. Snapchat is booming but it needs more selling.

thanks for the invite Miss Ghada...

well facebook is on top of the most popular social media websites as it has masses across the globe not just clebs and bussiness man or youngsters but also common people, children, elders everyone one... in short u can easily get ur target audience over here on facebook and thats wat a marketer or an advertiser is after...

there are many more like twitter instagram linkedin etc etc which whr as popular as facebook in past... this is wat technology is all about u nvr knw whn wuld the present will become a past so its better to get updated with each things and use each things for a better profit rather than choosing just the popular one... u can do it like, keep huge focus on the popular site and rest as a small support and market, advertise with the creative core....

Facebook is by far the most popular around the world followed by twitter, instagram, linkedin and the like

Hi Ghada, The Media depends on country to country. In general Facebook is leading social media platform in most of the countries followed by Instagram and than Twitter. In coming times, you will see Snapchat is picking up. But again it depends on market to market.
