What Social Media Is and What Social Media Isn't

What social Media “Is” and What social media “Isn’t”

What Social Media “Is”

Conversations
People having conversations online is Social Media

Communities
People having conversations connect with each other
across various platforms

Contribution
People in communities help others and add value
by sharing their knowledge

Collaboration
People in communities collaborate with each other to achieve common goals

What Social Media “Isn’t”

For Everyone
Unless you are social, open and transparent, it isn’t

Free
While the medium is free, the human effort isn’t.

Easy
While setting up a blog or a facebook page is easy,
using it effectively to serve your purpose isn’t

One-way
While most people continue to use it like
old media for one-way communication, it isn’t
