What is “Social Media?”
Wikipedia: web-based and mobile technologies used to
turn communication into interactive dialogue between
organizations, communities, and individuals.
Webster: forms of electronic communication (as Web
sites for social networking and microblogging) through
which users create online communities to share
information, ideas, personal messages, and other
content (as videos)

more than simply sharing information, photos,
status updates and news.
It’s about joining a conversation.

Social media is much like a
chemical experiment.
“Social media can help
my/my client’s business.”
