Social Media vs Social Bookmarking

[coolguy27]

These social media websites do not allow user interaction with the world the way social networking sites do. The social media sites let us interact with the world by only giving web space to us within their website for sharing comments, views or new feature requests. Some of the social media websites are My Space, Squidoo, Digg, Mashable, You tube, Flickr, Wikipedia and Miniclip.

What's wrong with that? That's research of course....What do you think?

Oopss..

Social Networking is a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of relations, such as values, visions, idea, financial exchange, and friends etc.

Social networking sites do allow uploading of user generated content, and sharing of content between multiple users across the world with the similar interests or with a different interest altogether. Some of the popular social networking websites on the internet are: My space, Facebook, Friendster, Live Journal, Orkut, hi5 and WAYN.

Social media is best understood as a group of new kinds of
online media which share most or all of the following
characteristics:
1. Participation
2. Openness: most social media services are open to feedback
and participation. They encourage voting, feedback,
comments and sharing of information. There are rarely any
barriers to accessing and making use of content – password
protected content is frowned on.

3. Conversation

4.Community

5. Connectedness: Most kinds of social media thrive on their
connectedness, via links and combining different kinds of
media in one place.

Interaction
The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the
concept of interaction, as percy puddles
to a one-way causal effect.

**The most common kinds of social media are blogs, social
networks, content communities (sometimes called
folksonomies), wikis, podcasts and forums.

Therefore there is an interaction of people in using SM..
