Our good friends at Overdrive Interactive released their most recent social media tools map (below).
While no map is perfect (e.g., include some of the Chinese social sites like Renren & Kaixin, consider removing Bebo, include Sysomos and Awareness in tracking tools, Spotify or ping for music, etc.). Overall this Map rocks as a nice pocket-guide for what’s happening on the social Web. And, you can’t include everything otherwise it wouldn’t fit into your pocket. I’ve include an image from Mashable below on the Chinese social networks. Congrats to Overdrive Interactive for being named 2010 Interactive Agency of the Year.

Eric, thanks for sharing. This is a great snapshot. I agree with all Heba’s comments above. BTW; “plus.google.com” IS Google+.
Other comments: HOw come Twitter is not mentioned? Should be under Social Networks. I think some of the apps under Social Networks are a little outdated, like myspace, ning…these are falling off the map.
Tools/ROI Tracking category is great, but I would also add a category for Website tracking: Google Analytics to tie this into SM tracking.
Great… Map, Erik. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Awesome map, Erik. Thanks for sharing…I would definitely add Google+ as well as a category for social media market places such as oneforty.com..
Also, more categories should be added to social media tools. For example, I would include a category for Twitter Apps, Social CRM tools and Social Scheduling tools.
But I guess this list covered the most important pieces of the puzzle. OverDrive interactive did a great effort in that regard, indeed. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Great suggestions Heba! Cheers!
