Social media and social networking
1. Is there any difference between a social media and social
networking site?
2.
The easiest way to understand
these two terms and their
differences, is by simply
removing the word social.
Media is responsible for
broadcasting an interactive
message to the masses.
Whereas, networking involves
interacting with people
individually.
3.
Therefore, social media is a
term for the channel used to
broadcast a certain
message online.
Whereas, a social network is
the name given to any tool,
device or utility, used by
people to connect with other
individuals.
To further our
understanding, we will take
a look at examples of both
social media (LinkedIn) and
a social network (YouTube).
4.
LinkedIn is one of the
most popular websites
for social networking.
People use LinkedIn to
connect with other
people who share
similar Interests and
hobbies, as well as
attend the same work
place, college or school.
5.
Also, like many social
networking sites it is
used for
reconnecting people.
in addition, many
businesses use sites
like LinkedIn to
reach a wider range
of potential clients.
6.
YouTube is a great example
of a social media website. It
is the most popular website
for uploading video and
sharing it with the whole
world.
It's a perfect example of
social media, which
people/organizations use to
broadcast their message to
the masses.
7.
It is a medium that
provides people the
opportunity to share
expertise, knowledge,
opinions, and
experiences through
video presentations.
8.
If LinkedIn is a social networking site and YouTube a social
media site. What are Facebook and Twitter?
Consider the features of both and make a judgement.
