Social Media
Social media are primarily Internet- and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings

Social Media is, at its most basic sense, a shift in how people discover, read, and share news and information and content. It's a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologue (one to many) into dialog (many to many.)
- Brian Solis
