So-cial Me-d-ia [soh-shuhl mee-dee-uh]
Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques.
Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies 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.
