    Ok, from what I understand Social Media is using web based tools which allow you to spread information by talking to one another. Is this correct?

    A category of sites that is based on user participation and user-generated content. They include social networking sites like LinkedIn or Facebook, social bookmarking sites like Del.icio.us, social news sites like Digg or Reddit, and other sites that are centered on user interaction.

    Social media are distinct from industrial media, such as newspapers, television, and film. While social media are relatively inexpensive and accessible tools that enable anyone (even private individuals) to publish or access information, industrial media generally require significant resources to publish information. Examples of industrial media issues include a printing press or a government-granted spectrum license.

    Social media is distinct in the sense that it builds from within. Word of mouth and viral marketing are the key growth points of a social media site.
