What is Social Media?
Social media is information content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies that is
intended to facilitate communications, influence and interaction with peers and with public audiences, typically via
the Internet and mobile communications networks.
The term most often refers to activities that integrate technology, telecommunications and social interaction, and the construction
of words, pictures, videos and audio.
Businesses also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM).
