Definition Of Social Media
Posted by: brent
For those of you struggling with defining social media, Robert Safuto’s post, My Definition Of Social Media, offers a very simple definition. It is important that we get a handle on all the buzz phrases being thrown around in regards to social media, lest we allow the terminology to get completely out-of-hand (ala Web 2.0 - circa 2005), and the discussions become so convoluted as to make them meaningless.
Can we all agree to get over how smart we think we are and just apply the old adage – KISS?
(Keep It Simple Stupid)
Thanks – really.

Keep it simple indeed Brent. I was thinking at some point after I wrote the post (and thank you for pointing to it) that the concept of media that is social isn’t complicated. But we’re also at a point where there are an incredible myriad of choices with respect to the tools, services and how they should be used. So there’s definitely plenty of work to do for companies that want to implement social media in an effective manner.
