What is Social Media?
In Web 2.0 terms, this would be a website that doesn't just give you
information, but interacts with you while giving you that information. This
interaction can be as simple as asking for your comments or letting you vote
on an article, or it can be as complex as Flixster recommending movies to you
based on the ratings of other people with similar interests.
Think of regular media as a one-way street where you can read a newspaper
or listen to a report on television, but you have very limited ability to give
your thoughts on the matter.
