I’m quite sure that someone out there has a clean, comprehensive definition of social media. Wikipedia has an entry, but it’s apparently not up to standard.
So, while I am searching for an official definition, I thought I’d throw this one out for debate:
Social media are the means for any person to: publish digital creative content; provide and obtain real-time feedback via on-line discussions, commentary, and evaluations; and incorporate changes or corrections to the original content.
Agree or disagree? Partially agree?
Let’s discuss and you can tell me what you think!
