Social Media

Putting it all together!

When you think of social media, think of it in terms of a two-way street that allows you to receive information you're interested in and allows you to communicate your thoughts and feelings as well.  As opposed to print or television, a one-way street where you can only read or listen to information, but have limited ability to share your thoughts.

Because social media is such a broad term, it covers a large range of websites. But the one common link between these websites is that you are able to interact with the website and interact with other visitors.
Here are some examples of social media websites:

Social Bookmarking.

• Del.icio.us

Interact by tagging websites and searching through websites bookmarked by other people.

Social News.

• Digg
• Propeller

Interact by voting for articles and commenting on them.

Social Networking.

• Hi5
• Last.FM

Interact by adding friends, commenting on profiles, joining groups and having discussions.

• YouTube
• Flickr

Interact by sharing photos or videos and commenting on user submissions.

Wikis.
