What is social media? Social media is a generic label describing
the dynamic interaction among the global community, enabled by the
use of web-based and mobile technological advancements. No precise
definitions exist in fact; social media and Internet are now
readily interchangeable terms, which is sometimes called Web 2.0,
3.0, Web Squared, or just the Internet. This openness is one of
social media s greatest strengths, but understanding its impact can
be overwhelming and confusing. Social media represents a major
shift in how you, your customers, competitors, and suppliers in
fact, everyone uses the Internet. The main shift is how people
actively interact in cyberspace, rather than just viewing pages.
This sudden change has surprised many as it represents the Internet
s ongoing evolution, helped by technology with new devices such as
mobility, iPads and Internet on large flat screen televisions, by
communication companies providing increasing access to broadband
technology, and by new media companies providing new applications
such as Facebook. Social Media in Business provides an overview of
the opportunities social media offers to a business and a concrete
plan to help managers and decision-makers, effectively, integrate
social media platforms into their current organizational structure.
