  “ Social media are primarily Internet-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. The term most often refers to activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. This interaction, and the manner in which information is presented, depends on the varied perspectives and "building" of shared meaning among communities, as people share their stories and experiences.” Social media is derived from traditional mediums of media such as newspapers, television and radio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media

  Podcasting was originallycoined by Apple in an attempt to draw the audience to the newly introduced iPod a few years back. However, even though iTunes still largely remains the main medium which people use to download podcasts, people now use any variant of MP3 or MP4 player to listen or watch them on. Podcasting has completely changed the way in which people view and think about radio broadcasts. Before podcasts become such a big medium, people would have to sit down at a certain time on a certain day. However, now that podcasts on freely attainable on iTunes and websites such as www.bbc.co.uk , people can download them and actively choose where and when they want to view them.
