SOCIAL, NOT INTERACTIVE, NOT VIRAL

This list is focused on “social” platforms and programs. “Social” is
  1
      not the same as “interactive” or “viral”.

  2   In “interactive”, people interact with the website or the application.

      In “viral”, people merely share a pre-produced video with other
  3
      people.

      In “social”, people interact with other people, and the interpersonal
  2
      interaction forms the core of the website or the application.

      So, games and immersive web experiences are often interactive, but
  5
      not social.

      Similarly, advertising, applications and web serials on social
  6
      networks are often viral, but not always social.

Social is not the same as interactive or viral

    SOCIAL, NOT INTERACTIVE,NOT VIRAL 06.29.2010 | P5 © MSLGROUP
  • 6.
    This list isfocused on “social” platforms and programs. “Social” is 1 not the same as “interactive” or “viral”. 2 In “interactive”, people interact with the website or the application. In “viral”, people merely share a pre-produced video with other 3 people. In “social”, people interact with other people, and the interpersonal 2 interaction forms the core of the website or the application. So, games and immersive web experiences are often interactive, but 5 not social. Similarly, advertising, applications and web serials on social 6 networks are often viral, but not always social. Social is not the same as interactive or viral © MSLGROUP
