George Siemens, Peter Tittenberg (pg.34) ltc.umanitoba.ca/wikis/etl

Social Media is about transforming monologue into dialogue, about free access to all types of information, about transforming internet users from mere readers to creators of content, about interacting in the online world so as to form new collaborative relationships.
