What is Social Media?




1.
Yesterday
The web allowed people to connect.
Today
The web allows consumers to mobilize.
Social Media
Is about Humanizing the web
Definition

  The term Social Media refers to the use of web-based and
  mobile technologies to turn communication into an interactive
  dialogue. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social
  media as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the
  ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that
  allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content."[1]
  Social media are media for social interaction, as a set of methods
  to enhance social communication, using ubiquitously accessible
  and scalable communication techniques.
Simply...

   People are no longer simply consumers of content, but
   active content publishers.
