What is Social Media?
The Term “Social Media” refers to online tools (web sites) that depend on user contributions and interactions between people to build shared meaning and value. It is:
• Participatory: It blurs the line between producer and consumer, media and audience.
• Open and Democratic: It encourages voting, comments and the sharing of information. For this reason it is seen as authentic and trustworthy.
• Conversational: Two (or more) way conversation rather than one-directional broadcast. Is personal, specific, and engaging.
• Communal: Supports formation, growth and strength of communities around a particular shared interest.
• Connected: Thrives on being connected, making use of links to other sites, resources and people, rather than being territorial and proprietary.
