3. Social Media Definition
Social media are media for social interaction, using highly
accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media
uses web-based technologies to turn communication into
interactive dialogues. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein
define social media as "a group of Internet-based
applications that build on the ideological and technological
foundations of Web 2.0, which allows the creation and
exchange of user-generated content." - Wikipedia 2010
A common thread running through all definitions of social
media is a blending of technology and social interaction for
the co-creation of value. - Wikipedia 2010

component.
