Techopedia explains Social Media
Social media is perceived as a Web 2.0 development, which is to say that it is founded on the concept of a user-driven, interactive Web. Blogs, message boards and chat rooms provide an experience that could be described as social media, but the term is more strongly identified with sites like Twitter, Facebook, Digg, LinkedIn, and so on. Like many buzzwords, the meaning of social media is a moving target that gets shifted around according to what the person using it wants it to mean.
