If you're looking for real insight and not just social media news, I recommend that you dig deeper. I often find the highest quality insight about social media on websites/blogs that are not% dedicated to social media. I find a lot of value reading the personal blogs of intelligent people that work in the world of start-ups. Here's a couple. 

I also find a lot of value in sites offer provide consumer research. I've included some specific articles below that relate to social media:  

Then there's the top consulting / think-tank type of sites that often feature really in-depth articles about social media, although they publish them less frequently than the aforementioned sources. 

Hope this helps!

PR CouturePR Couture is a fashion industry hub, or as they say, “haute spot,” for publicists, marketers, designers and brands.

Media VillageMedia Village, like Adweek, is a group of blogs that cover the media landscape. We read it for the Stuart Elliott Report. Ostensibly a weekly column, the former NY Times tech and media editor writes with a conspiratorial air on the state of the publicity, advertising, and marketing industry. Weaving a weekly narrative that both name checks and gut checks—readers are left feeling like they got an insider tip from a verified source. @stuartenyt followers: 38.3k and @MediaVillageCom followers: 6679
