Editor's Notes
- #5 websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration.
- #6 Social media are computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks. The variety of stand-alone and built-in social media services currently available introduces challenges of definition; however, there are some common features:[1] The "social" part: refers to interacting with other people by sharing information with them and receiving information from them. The "media" part: refers to an instrument of communication, like the internet (while TV, radio, and newspapers are examples of more traditional forms of media).
- #7 Users typically access social media services via web-based technologies on desktop, computers, and laptops, or download services that offer social media functionality to their mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers). When engaging with these services, users can create highly interactive platforms through which individuals, communities, and organizations can share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content or pre-made content posted online. They introduce substantial and pervasive changes to communication between businesses, organizations, communities, and individuals.[4] Social media changes the way individuals and large organizations communicate. Social media differ from paper-based media (e.g., magazines and newspapers) or traditional electronic media such as TV broadcasting in many ways, including quality,[5] reach, frequency, interactivity, usability, immediacy, and permanence. Social media outlets operate in a dialogic transmission system (many sources to many receivers).[6] This is in contrast to traditional media which operates under a monologic transmission model (one source to many receivers), such as a paper newspaper which is delivered to many subscribers, or a radio station which broadcasts the same programs to an entire city.
- #8 Some of the most popular social media websites are Baidu Tieba, Facebook (and its associated Facebook Messenger), Gab, Google+, Myspace, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, Viber, VK, WeChat, Weibo, WhatsApp, Wikia, Snapchat, . These social media websites have more than 100,000,000 registered users.
- #11 Allow you to create an online page to connect with others.
- #13 When it comes to ecommerce, Facebook excels at lead generation. The most common model used is to run a Facebook ad directly into a high-converting landing page offering some variety of a free lead magnet or bundle product.
- #15 WhatsApp Messenger is a freeware and cross-platform messaging and Voice over IP (VoIP) service.[4The application allows the sending of text messages and voice calls, as well as video calls, images and other media, documents, and user location.5] The application runs from a mobile device though it is also accessible from desktop computers; the service uses standard cellular mobile numbers.
