What is Social Media?

Breaking news, keeping up with friends or family members over dividing distance or simply connecting with persons with whom a common interest is shared; social media is an amazing facilitator for all of these activities.

Social media has changed the way that we use the internet --- rather than being a passive user as was the case when the net first debuted, users can now be more active participants on the World Wide Web. It is these barrier-breaking qualities that make social media the dynamic force that it is in today’s ever changing world.

In order to gain a new appreciation for the world of social media and to learn a few things about it (new forms, their uses, etc.), this blog will be my digital journal to capture my journey through the world of social media.
