Social Media

According to wikipedia “Social media is an umbrella term that defines the various activities that integrate technology, social interaction, and the construction of words and pictures.

The second paragraph goes on “Social media use the ‘wisdom of crowds’ to connect information in a collaborative manner. Social media can take many different forms, including Internet forums, message boards, weblogs, wikis, podcasts, pictures and video”.

Robert Scoble, an American blogger, tech evangelist, and author says,“When I say “social media” or “new media” I’m talking about Internet media that has the ability to interact with it in some way.”
