What is Social Media? 
Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which 
they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual 
communities and networks.
Popular Social Media Tools and Platforms: 
Blogs: A platform for casual dialogue and discussions on a specific topic or opinion. 
• Facebook: The world’s largest social network, with more than 1.32 billion monthly 
active users 
(as of June 2014). Users create a personal profile, add other users as friends, and 
exchange 
messages, including status updates. Brands create pages and Facebook users can 
“like” brands’ pages. 
• Twitter: A social networking/micro-blogging platform that allows groups and 
individuals to stay 
connected through the exchange of short status messages (140 character limit). 
• YouTube & Vimeo: Video hosting and watching websites.
Popular Social Media Tools and Platforms: 
• Flickr: An image and video hosting website and online community. Photos can be 
shared on 
Facebook and Twitter and other social networking sites. 
• Instagram: A free photo and video sharing app that allows users to apply digital 
filters, frames 
and special effects to their photos and then share them on a variety of social 
networking sites. 
• LinkedIn Groups: A place where groups of professionals with similar areas of 
interest can share 
information and participate in conversations
