Social Media Definition

This blog has talked a lot about how social medial can help your business and the different types of social media.  I thought it would be good to get more basic and talk about social media in general.   A great social media definition given by davepress is the following:

Digital tools that permit people and organisations to interact freely with low (or no) barriers to entering a conversation. The nature of the relationships between social media users is often as important as the content they share – the ‘social’ aspect is very important.

There are many forms of social media, like Facebook and Youtube, and it is very important that businesses take advantages of many forms of social media.  Many businesses are involved with Facebook, which is great because it seems that everybody is on Facebook these days but in order to have a good looking social media marketing campaign you need to be on more than one form of social media.  People like to watch videos, look at pictures, and read blog posts.  People like to be social in many different ways so take advantage of getting in touch with more people by spreading out your reach over many social media sites.
