The term Social Media refers to the use of web-based and mobile technologies that turn communication into an interactive dialogue. It is based on the creation and exchange of user-generated content.
Content is no longer created just by professional content producers and then consumed by the public... everyone can be a content producer with the capacity to reach a global audience.

"Pre-Web" (early '90s):
email, news groups, file transfer (FTP)
"Web 1.0" (1993):
websites and search - not inherently social
"Web 2.0" (late '90s):
user-generated content - blogs, wikis, bookmarking, virtual worlds, social networks

-Shift from “earned” or “organic” to “pay-to-play” -Rise of social messaging platforms such as Snapchat and Whatsapp - “quasi social networks” with an extreme youth focus
That said…
-Nearly 1.4 billion Facebook users generate 4.5 billion likes daily
-284 million active Twitter users posting 500 million tweets/day
Newspaper ads don't work -- readership is dwindling
TV ads don't work - we have DVRs
Telemarketing doesn't work -- we have caller ID
Email doesn't work -- we have spam filters
Banner ads don't work -- we have popup blockers (plus there’s click fraud)
Social media works – but you have to do it right (you have to be “social”)
