2.  Social media is media which its users can interact, share and
communicate with other users.

MySpace

3.  Media has become social, in a way that you can
now interact and communicate with users, rather
than just be a viewer.
 YouTube is a good example of this because
anyone can upload and comment on video’s,
whereas simply watching them would not be
classed as social media.
 The same could be said for just watching a
television programme.

4.  Anyone can use social media nowadays to
communicate with people, which has increasingly
become more convenient than meeting face to
face.
 Doodle is a good example of this as it allows users
to easily put forward days and times that they are
free, to allow easy organisation for social events.

5.  What makes Facebook social, but not for example, a radio
show?
 Facebook allows the users to personalize the information that they
send to other users, and communicate with anyone. A radio show
on the other hand, controls all interaction with its listeners, through
the decisions of the producer.
 Despite this, it could be said that a radio show an be classed as
social media, as people can ring in and interact with the show
online, for example competitions.

6.  Most media’s could be argued to be social, due to
movements in technology. There is now a limited
amount of media that, in some way or other,
hasn’t become social
 The social aspect of media has made things a lot
more convenient for people, due to that amount
of interactivity and communication, online.
