Social Media

Social media is the social interaction among people in which they create, share or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Social media can be used for many things: staying in touch with friends and family, promoting your cause, and keeping up with trending topics and news; knowing how to use social media is an essential 21st century skill. One example of social media is blogs or blogging. A blog is a type of website that is updated regularly with new content. Most blogs contain short, informal articles called blog posts. These posts usually contain some combination of text, photos, videos, and other media. At its core, a blog is just a space on the Web that you can create to record and express your opinions, experiences, and interests. Facebook, Pinterst, Skype, Instagram, and Twitter are also examples of social media. Each media application allows social interaction among people in which they create, share, or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks.
