Facebook
Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people and businesses they meet. Facebook products, such as Ads, Pages, and Deals, allow your business to reach and connect with your current and future customers.
Twitter
Twitter connects businesses to customers in real-time. Businesses use Twitter to quickly share information with people interested in their products and services, gather real-time market intelligence and feedback, and build relationships with customers, partners and influential people. From brand lift, to CRM, to direct sales, Twitter offers businesses a chance to reach an engaged audience.
Google+
Google+ is a new social network which is very similar to facebook, but with elements of twitter and far superior privacy and control over posts. The major benefits to Google+ are the +1 buttons for visitors to share your website across their pages, Google has made improvements recently to their search algorithm to include +1's, Google+ is going to be a massive player when it comes to search engine marketing and if you are serious about your business and haven't yet taken the social media plunge, then its a definite platform to consider.
