Social Media Definedcontent created by people using highly accessible and scalable
publishing technologies. At its most basic sense, social media is a shift in
how people discover, read and share news, information and content
. It's a set of technologies, tools and platforms facilitating the
discovery, participation and sharing of content. It is transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to
many) and the democratization of information, transforming people from content
readers into publishers. Social media has become extremely popular
because it allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal and business. Businesses
also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or
consumer-generated media (CGM).

the Future of the InternetMUST read: BBC News, The Tech Lab: Paul Twomey

• Future growth “will come from the world's developing economies, and it won't even be reliant on access to personal computers.” • Ten years ago, 100 million people used the internet. Today it is 1.4 billion. By the end of 2010, 5 billion people will have a mobile phone. Many of these will be internet enabled.
Wave of the Future
The enterprise implications of Google Wave: blogs.zdnet.com/Hinchcliffe/?p=400
Integrates many key features of e-mail, IM, microblogging, media sharing into one “Wave” or browser-like interface
Can be moved or embedded anywhere HTML can be embedded
Largely complements and doesn’t replace existing communication and collaborative applications.
What’s a Wave A wave is equal parts conversation and documentPeople can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is shared Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.
A wave is liveWith live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.
