What is Social Media?
Social media encourages participation between internet users on any topic that interests them. It cuts through the barrier of difference between media and audience, opening up the discussion to anyone who has something to share on that topic.
Social media web sites differ from traditional media such as newspapers, as they primarily depend upon interactions between people as the discussion base. Rather than a reporter writing an article and a web user simply reading that article, the user is encouraged to give feedback on that article.
Traditional media is all about broadcasting information whereas social media works as an open conversation that anyone can be involved in. What was once the audience becomes the voice with social media.
