What Is Social Media

Social media is based off of social networks, (social structure made up of individuals or organizations by specific types of friendship, interest, exchange or relationships).

Social media has only been around for a short time, even the internet hasn’t been around that long ago. It seems like that is how everybody is communicating online on internet-based applications or mobile devices. Social media is not to be confused with traditional media, such as newspapers, television or film. Social media is inexpensive and accessible to anyone to publish or access information, but require significant resources to publish information. Social media has now became the new tool for effective business marketing and sales.

Traditional industrial media and social media both provide scale and reach to a global audience. They are both accessible, traditional media is typically owned privately or by the government and social media is usually available to anyone at little or no cost.

Industrial media usually requires specialized skills and training, such a reporting or acting skills. Most social media does not need these skills, anyone can operate or produce the information. The time lag between television, newspaper and radio is greater than social media, where it is capable of instantaneous responses of the participants. Industrial media cannot be altered once the information is reported, where in social media you can edit comments or information. Social media can take many different forms, including Internet forums, weblogs, social blogs, microblogging, wikis, podcasts, pictures, video, rating and social bookmarking.

Common forms of social media include concepts, slogans and statement that excite others, action information dissemination such as public speaking, installations, etc. Sharing or search technologies and print media designed to be redistributed are other forms of social media.

As social media has grown, so have sub-specialties. Among these are Business-to Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B).

Social networking has been used to study how organizations interact with each other, characterizing the many connections that link executive together, as well as individual employees at different organizations.

Just in the past few years, there has been rapid growth in social networking technologies. Published applications have grown 250% per year over the past five years. There are over 2,000 published applications. About 100 of them have issued patents due to the ethical issues connected with this category.
