What is Social Media?


• Social media is the collective of online communications channels
dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and
collaboration.
• Websites and applications dedicated to forums, microblogging, social
networking, social bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are among
the different types of social media.
Examples for Social Media:
• Facebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create
profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family
and colleagues. According to statistics from the Nielsen Group, Internet users within the
United States spend more time on Facebook than any other website.
• Twitter is a free microblogging service that allows registered members to broadcast short
posts called tweets. Twitter members can broadcast tweets and follow other users' tweets
by using multiple platforms and devices.
• Wikipedia is a free, open content online encyclopedia created through the collaborative
effort of a community of users known as Wikipedians. Anyone registered on the site can
create an article for publication; registration is not required to edit articles. Wikipedia was
founded in January of 2001.
• Pinterest is a social curation website for sharing and categorizing images found online.
Pinterest requires brief descriptions but the main focus of the site is visual. Clicking on an
image will take you to the original source, so, for example, if you click on a picture of a
pair of shoes, you might be taken to a site where you can purchase them. An image of
blueberry pancakes might take you to the recipe; a picture of a whimsical birdhouse might
take you to the instructions.
What is Instagram?
• Instagram is a mobile app that allows users to upload content and share their lives with the world
through photos and videos. In many respects, Instagram’s photo-sharing platform has been unique from
the start. Once a user takes a photo, he or she can choose a filter to customize the image and capture the
moment perfectly. The purpose of the filters is to transform an amateur or mediocre mobile photo into
an artistic and professional-looking image.
• The app is also meant to be used in real-time, so Instagram users can share their experiences as they
happen. Instagram also took social network sharing and made it easier by giving users a convenient way
to instantly share a picture on several platforms, all from one app. Users can share photos onto
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr and Foursquare.
• On the app itself, users can see a homepage of their followers’ recent posts, check a newsfeed for
follower activity, comment on and like any public pictures, as well as tag followers in both comments
and photos. The hashtag trend, in particular, is widely used in captions and comments among
Instagrammers.
What is Youtube? ❤

• Providing a platform where millions of users can


upload and watch videos of every imaginable
description has proven to be one of the most dynamic
innovations in the history of the internet.
• 7 billion hours of YouTube content are watched every

❤
month.
• With over 1 billion unique users, and 7 billion hours
of content viewed every month, this internet platform
has changed the face of the world wide web entirely
in barely over a decade.
