Direct VB To Social Networking

[mrt12345]

Well i tried to market a new Forum in a particular industry by the use of facebook and the popular local classifieds , and there was a nil response but that could be just a lack of interest in that particular category. So i did more digging and found that there was action going on in social network sites in this category then other Forums. So is the social network the way to go . I fine in the groups in facebook that there is not much going on in the discussions section where people seemed to just to love to leave a short statement. Even photos seem to get a better responses . So should vb Move to more of the social network platform to keep up with the trends or offer both options?
