Week 5 Reading

This week our class was assigned to read Share This: The Social Media Handbook for PR Professionals by Stephen Waddington. Parts 1 and 2 discussed the various site that encompass social networks. Any sites that allow for the communications and interaction between two users can be considered social media.

Blogs, networking sites and social forms are but some ways users connect and share information online. Although many think of social media in terms of the top players like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, sites like Blogger and Four Square are considered social media sites.

Social media has come to influence our lives to the point that we don't stop and wonder, is this social media I'm using.
