What is 'social media'?Social media is a new group of online media that shares most of the following
characteristics:
PARTICIPATIONSocial media encourages contributions and feedback from everyone who is interested. It blurs the line between media and audience
OPENNESSMost social media services are open to feedback and participation. They encourage voting, comments and the sharing of information. There are rarely any barriers to accessing and making use of content – password-protected content is frowned upon
CONVERSATIONWhereas traditional media is about 'broadcast' (ie transmitted) content, social media is better seen as a two-way conversation
COMMUNITYSocial media allows communities to form quickly and communicate effectively. Communities share common interests, such as a love of photography, a political issue or a favourite TV show
CONNECTEDNESS
Most kinds of social media thrive on their connectedness, making use of links to other sites, resources and people

Why you should be tracking social media?
Two thirds of the world's internet users visit internet forums/social networking sites every day, generating millions of conversations
– it's called 'Social Media' or 'Consumer Generated Media'
Marketing, advertising and promotional activities are no longer a monologue from the company to the consumer
– they're a two-way conversation between the consumer and the company
Social media is one of the leading influencers in the consumer’s purchasing decision
– consumers trust consumer opinions and experiences over advertising
Social media increasingly impacts brands and their reputation
– lead influencers in the CGM space can quickly become 'brand evangelists' or 'brand terrorists’
