So what exactly is social media?So what exactly is social media?“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. They

support the democratization of knowledge and information and transform people from content consumers to content producers. 

…A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value.”
