What is Social Media - Wikipedia Social Media is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many). It supports the democratization of knowledge and information, transforming people from content consumers into content producers. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user- generated content. Businesses also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or consumer generated media (CGM). Social media utilization is believed to be a driving factor in the idea that the current period in time will be defined as the Attention Age.

Social Media’s Three Components 1) 1) Concept (art, information, or meme); 2) 2) Media (physical, electronic, or verbal) 3) 3) Social interface (intimate, direct, community engagement, social viral, electronic broadcast or syndication, or other physical media such as print).

Common Forms of Social Media Concepts, slogans and statements with a high memory retention quotient, that excite others to repeat; Grass-roots direct action information dissemination such as public speaking, installations, performance and demonstrations; Electronic media with ‘sharing’, syndication, or search algorithm technologies (includes internet and mobile devices); Print media, designed to be re-distributed.
