Collaboration Is Good

What is Social Media?


The evolution of the Internet into a more cooperative format, often referred to as Web 2.0, is due in large part to the development of something known as "social media."  Social media, by definition, is media content that facilitates conversation and participation, rather than traditional media content which only delivers material to the end-user.  In simple terms, any website that allows the user to interact with the site and other users can be defined as social media.


 Social media, by its very nature, is collaborative and makes it easy for users to share photos, videos, and opinions at a rapid pace.  Online social media has become so pervasive that even major news sites now allow readers to rate and share content, and in some cases, upload their own video to the sites.  Social media is wide-ranging and has forever changed many aspects of the online experience, including the way we connect with others, shop for products and services, and discover and share new information.
