The umbrella term social media embraces the many forms of networked communication that allow widespread sharing of information; linking to friends, family, and co-workers; and collaboration in both formal and informal networks. Social media can be defined narrowly as the networked forms of communication that individuals use to communicate to and with their personal networks (e.g., Facebook or LinkedIn), to share content (e.g., YouTube), or for “microblogging” to a broader (but still limited) group of “followers” (e.g., Twitter). More broadly, social media can also be understood to include all of the platforms that make group collaboration possible (e.g., Wikis and commercial collaboration platforms).
