Social Media terms explained – a quick summary
‘Social media‘ is the term commonly given to websites and online tools which allow users
to interact with each other in some way – by sharing information, opinions, knowledge and
interests. Social media involves building communities or networks, encouraging
participation and engagement. It is sometimes also called Web 2.0 or New Media. Social
collaboration and participation is positively encouraged unlike older websites where content
was served on pages in a static way with no ability to interact.

As an organisation it’s important not to rush into the use of particular social media tool or
website just because others are, but to consider how its use complements your message
and existing ways of working and communicating. Once this is clear each tool should be
considered for its suitability.

The tools fall into ten broad categories which are summarised below; words in BOLD are
examples of tools providing that service. Use a search engine to find out more about each.

1. Audio Sharing. A podcast is a news feed with a media sound file attached that can be
picked up by a feed reader for you to listen to on your PC, an MP3 player or iPod at your
convenience. They can be recorded on specialist equipment or simply on many mobile
phones and uploaded to websites such as Odeo. Using ipadio to record a podcast on your
phone also give a transcription. Podcasts can be edited using free Audacity software.

2. Blog – (weB log). Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject,
cause or issue; others function as more personal online diaries where entries are displayed
in reverse chronological order. A typical blog includes images, and links to other blogs and
media. Popular blogging tools include Wordpress, Blogger and Weebly. Tumblr
generates a blog from short media snippets. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-blogging)

3. Video Sharing. Websites such as YouTube, Vimeo or BlipTV. Upload and share
videos from a digital camera or mobile phone. They can be included on your own website
and tagged for sharing and easy searching by visitors. Conversations develop from
comments about video content or message. Ustream or Qik can be used to create a live
video stream from an event (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-Video)

4. Microblogging (Twitter). A social networking service that allows users to send up to
140 character “updates” as SMS text-based posts. It is ideal for keeping in touch with
groups of people or canvassing a wide range of people about a particular topic or question.
(More Info: http://bit.ly/Twitter-for-support-orgs)

5. RSS and Feed readers. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is just a technical way
content is formatted ready for a feed reader or news feed program (such as Bloglines
or Google Reader) to pickup and deliver to your reader or as an email in your inbox.
Feeds are automatically picked up to be read at leisure without you having to visit each
website individually. RSS feeds are often denoted on websites with an orange RSS symbol.
(More Info: http://bit.ly/RSS-Support-orgs).

To be instantly notified by e-mail when your organisation or a particular keyword is
mentioned you can set up a Google Alert. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-alerts)
6. Photo Sharing (Flickr). An online photo storage website which also includes tagging
and commenting so photos taken by many people but tagged with the same terms can be
viewed in a single pool. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-flickr)

7. Social Networking. Websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn or MySpace. These
community websites link people who share interests and activities or who are interested in
exploring the interests and activities of others. They provide various ways for users to
interact, such as chat, messaging, email, video, voice chat, file sharing, discussion groups,
blogging and more. Bebo and MySpace are similar with an appeal to a younger audience.

Using Ning, Grou.ps or SocialGo you are able to create your own social network for free,
but check as they may make a charge to use all features and some premium content.

8. Social Bookmarking. Websites such as Del.icio.us or Digg. These are a way to access
bookmarks you save or that others have tagged and saved about a subject that interests
you. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-bookmarking)

When content is tagged (which can be with a hashtag in Twitter, or by keywords in
other social networking sites) it makes searching and aggregating content so much
simpler. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-tagging) Bit.ly is used to shorten long web
addresses and also allows you to view how often the link has been clicked.

9. Social Collaboration and Productivity Tools. Software such as Google Docs or
DropBox which allow a dispersed groups of people to work collaboratively towards shared
aims, share a document or participate in an online event or conference.

Create, edit, and link pages together in a variety of document formats or create
collaborative websites.

Other applications enable you to share in discussions and meetings on-line (WebEx), hold
audio (Skype) or video conferences (ooVoo), schedule a meeting collaboratively
(Doodle), share slide presentations (Slideshare) or share printed format documents
(Scribd or myebook). Eventbrite features a full range of features for planning, ticketing
and managing any free events you deliver.

10. Wiki. Websites such as Wikispaces or Wetpaint allow users to easily create, edit,
and link pages together. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites or allow a
dispersed group of people to work collaboratively on building documents. Perhaps the most
popular example is Wikipedia. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-wiki)

Quick social-media-types

  • 1. Social Media terms explained – a quick summary ‘Social media‘ is the term commonly given to websites and online tools which allow users to interact with each other in some way – by sharing information, opinions, knowledge and interests. Social media involves building communities or networks, encouraging participation and engagement. It is sometimes also called Web 2.0 or New Media. Social collaboration and participation is positively encouraged unlike older websites where content was served on pages in a static way with no ability to interact. As an organisation it’s important not to rush into the use of particular social media tool or website just because others are, but to consider how its use complements your message and existing ways of working and communicating. Once this is clear each tool should be considered for its suitability. The tools fall into ten broad categories which are summarised below; words in BOLD are examples of tools providing that service. Use a search engine to find out more about each. 1. Audio Sharing. A podcast is a news feed with a media sound file attached that can be picked up by a feed reader for you to listen to on your PC, an MP3 player or iPod at your convenience. They can be recorded on specialist equipment or simply on many mobile phones and uploaded to websites such as Odeo. Using ipadio to record a podcast on your phone also give a transcription. Podcasts can be edited using free Audacity software. 2. Blog – (weB log). Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject, cause or issue; others function as more personal online diaries where entries are displayed in reverse chronological order. A typical blog includes images, and links to other blogs and media. Popular blogging tools include Wordpress, Blogger and Weebly. Tumblr generates a blog from short media snippets. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-blogging) 3. Video Sharing. Websites such as YouTube, Vimeo or BlipTV. Upload and share videos from a digital camera or mobile phone. They can be included on your own website and tagged for sharing and easy searching by visitors. Conversations develop from comments about video content or message. Ustream or Qik can be used to create a live video stream from an event (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-Video) 4. Microblogging (Twitter). A social networking service that allows users to send up to 140 character “updates” as SMS text-based posts. It is ideal for keeping in touch with groups of people or canvassing a wide range of people about a particular topic or question. (More Info: http://bit.ly/Twitter-for-support-orgs) 5. RSS and Feed readers. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is just a technical way content is formatted ready for a feed reader or news feed program (such as Bloglines or Google Reader) to pickup and deliver to your reader or as an email in your inbox. Feeds are automatically picked up to be read at leisure without you having to visit each website individually. RSS feeds are often denoted on websites with an orange RSS symbol. (More Info: http://bit.ly/RSS-Support-orgs). To be instantly notified by e-mail when your organisation or a particular keyword is mentioned you can set up a Google Alert. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-alerts)
  • 2. 6. Photo Sharing (Flickr). An online photo storage website which also includes tagging and commenting so photos taken by many people but tagged with the same terms can be viewed in a single pool. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-flickr) 7. Social Networking. Websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn or MySpace. These community websites link people who share interests and activities or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. They provide various ways for users to interact, such as chat, messaging, email, video, voice chat, file sharing, discussion groups, blogging and more. Bebo and MySpace are similar with an appeal to a younger audience. Using Ning, Grou.ps or SocialGo you are able to create your own social network for free, but check as they may make a charge to use all features and some premium content. 8. Social Bookmarking. Websites such as Del.icio.us or Digg. These are a way to access bookmarks you save or that others have tagged and saved about a subject that interests you. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-bookmarking) When content is tagged (which can be with a hashtag in Twitter, or by keywords in other social networking sites) it makes searching and aggregating content so much simpler. (More Info: http://bit.ly/One-page-tagging) Bit.ly is used to shorten long web addresses and also allows you to view how often the link has been clicked. 9. Social Collaboration and Productivity Tools. Software such as Google Docs or DropBox which allow a dispersed groups of people to work collaboratively towards shared aims, share a document or participate in an online event or conference. Create, edit, and link pages together in a variety of document formats or create collaborative websites. Other applications enable you to share in discussions and meetings on-line (WebEx), hold audio (Skype) or video conferences (ooVoo), schedule a meeting collaboratively (Doodle), share slide presentations (Slideshare) or share printed format documents (Scribd or myebook). Eventbrite features a full range of features for planning, ticketing and managing any free events you deliver. 10. Wiki. Websites such as Wikispaces or Wetpaint allow users to easily create, edit, and link pages together. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites or allow a dispersed group of people to work collaboratively on building documents. Perhaps the most popular example is Wikipedia.
