I'd say SlideShare for B2B. Several reasons why I think so:

  • Good medium to quickly digest information. Visual and succinct.
  • Traffic is exploding at SlideShare so you'll reach a larger audience.

For B2C, the two big ones will be Vine and Instagram.

Definitely Google+.

It has a huge number of user base already. But, compared to the bigger ones (Facebook and Twitter) it still lags behind.

My reasons would be:

  • It is already starting a trend. Slow in traction but constantly growing.
  • The user base are more of professionals, brands and companies.
  • The Communities are an excellent platform for discussion and sharing.
  • It's widely integrated with Google Search (which most companies are focusing online)
  • In addition to the above point, Google is year after year (update after update) putting more weight into it.

Those are just the things on top of my head.

  • +1. I do see Google+ picking up as well and I had discovered really large and dynamic communities on this platform. The openness of communities makes for a really good marketing channel. – Webbie 10 years ago
