Social media is not a campaign… it’s a channel. It’s a means to an end, not an end in itself. That means your social media networks should be part of a larger marketing plan.
With that being said, you still need a set of goals to guide your individual social media efforts. Like most marketing plans, social media channels need to go through the following five goals in order to produce the kind of results that are truly profitable.

It seemed in 2011 like there was a new or “hot” social network every month – and watching the social media in-crowd rush to adopt was a sometimes comical diversion. There was certainly an element of “shiny object syndrome” at play in the social media world... Via Martin Gysler

I agree Martin, however we are finding that each of the venues seem to gravitate to somewhat different Demographics and show different response to engagement. A business should spend time with testing and focus on the venues most productive.

As part of my on-going work developing social media for business units, I’m often asked about what types of tools I used for tracking all that ‘social media stuff.’
Let me talk about how I go about creating a social media dashboard
The basic answer is that I don’t have one tool (I have dozens, if not hundreds.)
The real answer is that I am not tracking social media.
With that said: when I think about creating a social media dashboard or using a platform to track results… I am looking at several unique business identifiers that define what tool I need for the job at hand... Via Martin Gysler
