A Better Social Media Definition
I have never felt comfortable with many of the defintions of the term, social media.
Typically, I have used the simple statement that social media is people having conversations online.
But I like how Mike Arauz has elevated the understanding of social media to not just account for those conversations, but the actual media content and channels around which the conversations are taking place:
Rather than a wholly new medium of its own, Social Media is the next evolution of all media as we know it. If media refers to our society’s means of communication, e.g. books, newspapers, radio, TV, film, and the Internet, then Social Media is the enhanced experience of media in the context of a self-authored digital network of personal relationships, i.e. a Social Network.
