Defining Social Media Social media essentially is a category of online media where people are talking, participating, sharing, networking, and bookmarking online. Most social media services encourage discussion, feedback, voting, comments, and sharing of information from all interested parties. Its more of a two-way conversation, rather than a one- way broadcast like traditional media. Another unique aspect of social media is the idea of staying connected or linked to other sites, resources, and people. - Ron Jones (President/CEO of Symetri Internet Marketing) Y © 2011
