Social Media Defined

In preparation for a workshop I’ll be teaching, I ask you a simple question:

How would you define the term “social media”?

I’d love to hear your answers in the comments below!

    I would say that it is both the content and the means to deliver the content to the online community.

    Social Media is any technology-based forum that provides a meeting place for people and facilitates the building of human relationships and communities. It must provide the opportunity for equal access to participation for each person or group. I know of one church that has a FB page but has diminished its Social Media capability. Only authorized church officials can post to the page. While FB has social media capabilities, this church FB page is not a social media forum for the church. To the extent that equal participation in the conversation is limited, the social media reality is diminished as well.
