Social Media
What is Social Media
Social media are interactive computer-mediated technologies that allow users to create and share information via virtual communities and networks.
This includes ideas, articles, career interests, opinions, and other forms of expression. In a nutshell, they allow people to share content quickly. There are different types of social media, sorted according to their uses: social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn); media-sharing networks (Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube); discussion forums (Reddit, Quora); consumer review networks (Yelp, TripAdvisor); blogging and publishing networks (Tumblr, Medium); and content curation networks (Pinterest, Flipboard).
These days, social media is frequently used for companies’ marketing needs.
