2. What is Social Media
WIKIPEDIA: Social Media is an umbrella term that defines
the various activities that integrate technology, social
interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos
and audios. At its most basic sense, social media is a shift
in how people discover, read and share news, information
and content.
BETTER DEFINITION: Social media means consumers
have been given a larger seat at the table. And they’re never
going back. -@bobinmotion
