Problem:
I. Defining Social Media
Consider Stephen & Bart's definition of social media, taken from a textbook we no longer use in this course as it can use more detail and improvement:
"Social Media is a form of digital media that enables communication and interactions among people and between people and organizations, including brands, companies, and other entities (e.g., governments). Four characteristics set it apart from other forms of digital media: high levels of social interactivity, openness and flexibility, fast-paced flows of information, and constant innovation and evolution of the platforms and how they are used by individuals and businesses."
Discuss your thoughts on what works with this definition, and what does not (one paragraph, 100+ words).
Find three definitions of social media online. Be creative (I don't want to see Wiki, Google, and dictionary.com for everyone!). Share the sources, quote their definitions. Then, again, share your thoughts on their concepts. (one paragraph, 130+ words).
Your turn! This is where I want you to think deeply and critically. You share your definition, and I want it thorough and to stand the test of time (future-proof it). Be certain you answer the following: how, what, when, why, who, where? Need Assignment Help?
II. Popular Social Media Example
Choose a popular social media app/site that you use. Be forewarned... Facebook and Twitter are off-limits!
In your first paragraph, share at least 6-10 sentences that cover the what, who, when, why, where, how. Keep it simple and concise.
In your second paragraph, share why you utilize it, what works, and what needs improvement. Saying, "It is great!" or "I have no complaints" is lazy and will result in points deducted (plus some of my respect lost). Be detailed.
III. Lesser-Known Social Media Example
Do the same as part 2 above, but with a lesser-known app/site. The more obscure, the better!
