Most companies plan to invest heavily in social media this year: Nearly three-quarters (73.5%) say social media as part of their overall interactive strategy is either a new priority or more of a focus than it was in 2009, according to a new survey from ISITE Design.

Another 23.0% of companies plan to give social media the same priority as last year, the study found.

Among other online priorities, Web analytics is second, with 60.5% of companies planning to give it more priority this year, closely followed by user experience (59.5%), and rich media (49.5%).

Mobile is lower on companies' lists of priorities: 41.6% cite mobile as a high-priority initiative, and 30.7% plan to give it the same priority as last year.
