What is Social Media?
Many to Many?
Social media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media use
web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social media dialogues. 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] Businesses also refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed[
who?] to be a driving force in defining the current time period as the Attention Age[citation needed]. A common thread running through all
definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value.
