It’s official. More and more people are using this term “social media”. But do you really know what social media means? It’s so commonly used that I really wonder who on earth really knows what this means.
Who says that social media means a media which has to do with online?
From my understanding, social media is basically means the websites which are utilizing publishing technologies to create a pull of information from interested parties. For example, if you have a website which can contain various feeds of related information, the visitors will be very glad to find out more from you. And those releated information are made available using the publishing techologies which is basically in the form of an RSS and ATOM feed.
(Ok, here’s the meaning for social media from wikipedia)
But do you think social media an overused buzzword?
Social media is becoming more and more aggressively used by many people out there. But do you think social media an overused buzzword? I thought so! A lot of my friends are using it like nobody’s business.
Who is right? Who is wrong?
I think it’s not an issue here anymore. Why?
Because we must all understand that there’s no such thing as the real standard anymore. (For example, pluto is no longer part of the planet.) We are all human beings. A standard will be formed if you are able to spread the news fastest to everybody’s attention. That’s the “real standard”.
More and more blog stars are born. They do not need to go through the endorsement of the media companies. All they need is an Internet access.
Social media is a place where you will exchange more ideas than ever before!
