What Is Social Media?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “Social Media” as “forms of electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (as videos)”. The biggest and most powerful Social Media sites are Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Linkedin.

Why Is Social Media Important For Businesses?

There has been a fundamental shift in how people use the internet. We sometimes forget that it wasn’t that long ago that “searching” on the internet became as common and as effective as it is now. Back before the year 2000 we had never even heard of Google. All that has of course changed and today we expect that we can get the answer to anything and find whatever we are looking for through search.

Recent years have seen the shift to web 2.0, an interactive internet that allows anyone to not only look at content on the internet but to participate, respond and create content on the internet. So how does this effect business? Simply put, it’s all about word of mouth.

Think about how your business gets customers historically. Do they find you via referral or word of mouth? Today’s electronic equivalent of that is Social Media. There are opportunities online today to utilize Social Media to build business through word of mouth. At the same time there are also opportunities to have your business damaged by negative word of mouth if you choose to ignore it. Protecting a company and brand reputation is a relatively new aspect of internet marketing that is rapidly growing.
