Baltimore based social media marketing firm SocialToaster released their Social Media Survey 2012 this weekend. And if you're trying to build your base of followers, here's what some 3,000 social media professionals in the business world said will get your dissed and dismissed. A couple of standouts on what turns off the majority of survey respondents this year: sex and race are at the top of the list.
Meanwhile, when it comes to sharing on social media sites like Facebook, an overwhelming percentage (90 percent) of survey respondents said pictures were most likely to get shared, followed by links (68.3 percent), quotes (51.2 percent), and videos (43.9 percent). Studies and statistics (19.5 percent) were the least likely to get shared. Most respondents (85.7 percent) believe humorous content was most likely to get shared, followed by sports (61 percent), and politics (48.8 percent). Only pornography (7.3 percent) beat game scores (12.2 percent) as least likely to be shared.
