WHAT

"Social media is like teen sex.
Everybody wants to do it.
Nobody knows how.
When it's finally done there
is surprise it's not better.”

Social Media Defined:

Social Media Defined:
• Social media is content created by people using highly
accessible and scalable publishing technologies. It's a set
of technologies, tools and platforms facilitating the
discovery, participation and sharing of content. It is
transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues
(many to many) and the democratization of information,
transforming people from content readers into publishers.
